A smartphone is a cellular phone that is really so much more than just a phone. It seems like each year, or even sooner, with the quick way technology advances, more and more features are added to these smartphones. The very first smartphone actually came out in 1992. It was a concept phone, but, it could even send email and fax. Now they can do lots and lots of things. You can surf the web, check your email, and keep up with your friends on various social networks. They have games on them and GPS capabilities, as well.
Smartphones are for more than just calling and texting. They take the most popular features of a PDA and combine them with the calling technology to help you keep you organized and on top of everything. You have complete multiple field address books, calculators, calendars and schedule reminders, and yes, there are still games included on a lot of smartphone models. You don't want to be without those important boredom breakers.
One thing that has proven to be very handy that smartphones have is a camera. People are now able to snap pictures (some even take video) during moments of life that they would not normally have had a camera with them. So we are catching snapshots of life we didn't used to see.
Of course, style is still a factor. You want your phone to call your friends and family and still look good. With the growing popularity of text messages and social networks, Twitter for example, many smartphones manufacturers are including full QWERTY keyboards on their models making quick work of typing out all those messages.
The PDA, electronic personal organizer, was the device that many people had first. Then slowly, the cellular phones began to actually function as PDA's themselves, and now that is what many people have and use every day. A lot of people would be completely lost without their smartphones, which is actually one of the negative things about them. In combining all of our personal devices, we've put ourselves in a pretty bad situation if we lose our smartphones, as we lose all of that information. - 15478
