A smartphone is simply a mini Unix based computer (similar to a Mac) where applications can be loaded and operated the same as a regular computer. Older cell phones did not come with these features. The most you could download and run were games, music, and ringtones at cost. A smartphone is based on the Android OS and Iphone running a similar Unix based Iphone OS both access a market containing a vast library of applications ranging from barcode scanners, navigation, netflix, social networking, etc. If you can think it, there is probably an app for it. Which a lot of it is typically free to download and run. You also get full internet on a smart phone integrated with the OS.
What you want to watch out for is the memory capacity, CPU speed, Wi-Fi/bluetooth (typically standard), camera resolution, and OS version capability of the phone. All the above items effect the price of the phone. Just like a higher dollar computer with the latest processor, a smartphone could be as high as $500.00 if it is the realm of cutting technology. Outside of signing a 2 year contract to get your phone, you could buy a starter smartphone for around $200.00 new. To get the most out of your phone, I wouldnt go lower than a 800MHz CPU running Froyo 2.2.What is the exact definition of a smartphone. What features a phone should have to be smart.?
Most people's standards of smart phones are the iPhones, or Andoird phones. These phones can broswe the web, edit documents, have speech recignition, usually have great store memory, and often have apps. And GPS is becoming popular these days.
