Categorization

Should this be in Category:Personal digital assistants, or are there some non-PDA smartphones? -- Gordon Ecker (talk) 08:34, 17 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Definition

I think that the definition that the phone has Personal Information Management capabilities is insufficient. Nearly every Nokia S40 phone could be considered a smartphone by that definition. I would argue that the main defining characteristic of a smartphone is the question whether the mobile operating system supports installing applications beyond Java and BREW applications.
