A smartphone is a mobile phone offering advanced capabilities, often with PC-like functionality. Examples of smartphones are Blackberry Storm, Bold and Curve, Apple’s iPhone, Nokia’s N97, Palm Pre, and Windows Mobile.
While almost all mobile phones include some sort of software, a smartphone will have the ability to do more. It may allow you to create and edit Microsoft Office documents, or at least view the files. It may allow you to download applications, such as personal and business finance managers. Or it may allow you to edit photos, get driving directions via GPS, and create a playlist of digital tunes. More smartphones can access the Web at higher speeds, thanks to the growth of 3G data networks and the addition of Wi-Fi support. All mobile phones can send and receive text messages, but what sets a smartphone apart is its handling of e-mail. A smartphone can sync with your personal, and sometimes, your professional e-mail account. Some smartphones can support multiple e-mail accounts. Others include access to the popular instant messaging services, such as Windows Live Messenger, Google Talk, AOL’s AIM, and Yahoo! Messenger.
