What Is a Smartphone?
The best description of a smartphone comes from Michael Junto Yuan's article on the O'Reilly Network. In short, a smartphone is a converged device that has characteristics of both a computer and a mobile phone.Unlike a traditional mobile phone, a smartphone has large amounts of local storage and memory and an operating system. And unlike a traditional computer, a smartphone has full telephonic utility.
What else sets a smartphone apart from other mobile devices? Please add your thoughts and link to great examples.
- It's programmable! The ability for third-party programmers to create applications that make the user experience richer is one of the characteristics that makes smartphones the perfect converged device. What are some of your favorite applications? Notice: Please be careful when downloading applications for your smartphone.

- It can synch up with your desktop or laptop to act as a computer away from your computer.
- It can act as a mobile Instant Messenger.
- It can access the net via both WAP or HTML, giving you access to all the Web 2.0 features that you'd use on your main computer.
- Fun stuff! With the addition of a memory card, smartphones can act as a mobile entertainment center to watch video, listen to music, and create user-generated content, including audio, video, blogging, and photography.

ive had mine since january and although i love it at times it fusterates me!
my problems include 1: windows media player will say some of my songs arent working and only play a few seconds when at other times it will play the same song with no problems 2: sometimes the main keypads will stop working i have to exit everything using the keypad but the screen wont flip to the keypad way. 3: lately i cannot use msn it will exit/sign me out if i leave it 4: my worst problem is twice now my cell phone will be at low battery i turn it off then when i come home to charge it , it will show the telus screen, the htc screen then the windows media screen. stop go black vibrate then start all over nothing stops it unless i go to a telus store and they reboot it for me
Do you find this valuable?
