The Social Media Glossary lists “smart phone” as one of the top 100 words or phrases in the social media dictionary and defines a smart phone as any “hand-held device capable of advanced tasks beyond that of a standard mobile phone”.

This definition is quite broad and may not be entirely accurate. Yet, the term “smart phone” is, still at best, an all-encompassing acronym for any kind of hand held device that makes phone calls and performs PC-like data management functions combined with video and music entertainment.

The earliest smart phones evolved from PDAs. A brief survey of official Internet sources who have attempted to define the word “smart phone such as Pure Mobile (Aug 15, 2010), "What are Smart Phones ?" or Google search (August 19, 2010), indicate a common thread. That the change from regular mobile phone to enhanced PDA most significantly influences the general notion of what constitutes a “smart phone.”

Smart phones are “programmable” and feature “user customization”. They perform “PC-like functions” such as “Web browsing”, text and e-mail support, scheduling and contact management, and data storage. They are also “multimedia devices” that play music and take pictures or video.

Over the years, the notion of what constitutes a smart phone changes with technology. Today, “smart phone” is an acronym for a mobile phone operating system platform that supports application development and customization. Respected industry sources such as Gartner and Canlys use the operating system / App dichotomy as a way to classify “smart phones” by operating system for tracking industry sales data.

The Word “Smart Phone” is not exclusively Defined by the Operating System/App Dichotomy.

A close examination of the 100 phones currently available through the four major U.S. carriers Verizon, AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile marketed as either “smart phones or “PDA/smart phones” indicates three primary levels of sophistication: feature phone, low-end or hybrid smart phone, and smart phone. Broadband Genie on its web site doesn't officially recognize a hybrid smart phone category, but the hybrid smart phone is a new trend and also a big consumer item.
