Until we get mobile devices that behave at least like full-fledged laptops when we need them (expandable/projectable screens, multiple input modalities, meaningful operation in low-connectivity state), this idea that you can do 95% of job via mobile only works for the simplest cases, or for people who are on the phone/email all day and do nothing else.
Even in the case of support roles where the employee is essentially on the phone all day or in a chat room, it is extremely difficult to correspond with the customer and then look up account information, examine a knowledge base, or talk with colleagues; even devices with bigger screens just are suited for this right now.
Look at things side by side or in a overhanging window on anything but a full-fledged desktop OS? Good luck.
