Vodafone has launched a mobile price plan that allows small businesses to share minutes across employees and to mix and match options such as mobile data, mobile email and tech support.

The plan, called Business Choice, was introduced on Monday. Customers start with a set of basic features, including free calls to UK landlines, free UK calls to company mobiles on the same plan, 150 standard UK text messages and free voicemail retrieval.

It’s certainly not your run-of-the-mill cell phone, but do you think the BPhone has a shot at all? This hybrid gadget will be combining the features of a mobile phone and a netbook. There isn’t any mention of the OS that will be powering the device, but if trends are anything to go by, maybe it will be powered by Google’s Android? Would you get such a device as your main mobile phone, or do you think that netbooks and phones should remain separate?
