Putting a senior developer on researching phones for a fortnight is 
probably losing them far more money than just paying someone to 
implement a working system... however it's different budgets, therefore 
doesn't show up on the balance sheet.

OTOH we don't need a phone each.  Mostly they just stand idle anyway. 
One between two or three people is enough.

Yes but they're not my problem... (Losing 2.5 days a week on meetings 
then holding another meeting to discuss why we're behind on all the 
deadlines is either tragic or funny depending on how you look at it). 
All companies seem to suffer more or less from bad management - there's 
not much that those of us on the coalface can do about it.
