    I have finally convinced myself that i need to upgrade my current phone, normally i wouldn't as my current phone (LG KEYBO) still works great it just isn't "Smart" enough for me.

    I do all my work online and need to manage a business and i just can't do it with this phone. I don't think i need all the bells and whistles but there are a few important things id definitely like it to be able to do if possible.

    One would be it needs a good web browser that should support most up to date stuff, my current phone is terribly for this. Such simple things as just being able to log into cPanel to restart a service if required i can't currently do on my phone. Wifi is also a must so i don;t always have to use my phone networks internet. Also is there any way to connect to servers via SSH using smartphones ?

    So now i ask... What do you think is a good smart phone for a webmaster all suggestions welcome. I just don't want to go out and rush into buying something and then realize afterwards i should have gotten something else.

    I am a big fan of Android (or more precisely, Cyanogenmod, which is a better version of it). There are thousands of apps available and I am sure that there are also SSH clients.

    I recommend that you find a device that is compatible with Cyanogenmod (take a look at this list), so you won't have to deal with unofficial ports of CM later.

    Hell yes, Android is great for webmasters. Whether it's an SSH client you need, apps for managing CPanel, Adsense apps (AdSense Management is the best one, I think), Google Analytics apps, etc.
