    Every body wants to own a smart phone. But what is a smart phone is the question which is unanswered by experts. In my opinion no phone can be described as smart phone as functionality of a smart phone differs from people to people. For some advanced music player and 3d stereo output is a must feature for a Smartphone, for some GPS navigator is a must to qualify for a Smartphone. With change in technology 3G, touch screen, WiFi Connectivity, A2DP Bluetooth is also the area which no smart phone manufacturer should ignore.

    In true sense there is no industry standard or definition for a Smartphone. But on broader terms Smartphone buyers are largely working professional who would like to stay connected all the time with their work related needs. For these buyers touch screen, music player, camera capabilities are not a cause of concern but push2email, WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, document viewer, scheduler, 3g can be cause of concern.
    First name which appears in every professionals mind for Smartphone is BlackBerry or E-Series from Nokia.
    I tried to list smart phones (or so called Smartphone) for the working professionals where their prime need of stay connected can be fulfilled.
