Operating System: In general, a smartphone will be based on an operating
system that allows it to run productivity applications. BlackBerry
smartphones run the BlackBerry OS, while other devices run the Palm OS or
Windows Mobile. There are smartphone OSes that are pared-down versions of
desktop Linux, too.
Software: While almost all cell phones include some sort of software (even
the most basic models these days include an address book or some sort of
contact manager, for example), 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.
Web Access: More smartphones can access the Web at higher speeds, thanks
to the growth of 3G data networks and the addition of Wi-Fi support to many
handsets. Still, while not all smartphones offer high-speed Web access, they
all offer some sort of access. You can use your smartphone to browse your
favorite sites.

Smartphone functions as a feature rich communication device. The addition
of Internet access is the latest innovation in smartphone technology. Today,
users may surf the Internet with the same ease as when using a laptop or
desktop computer. At the same time, many manufacturers of smartphone lines
have worked to enhance the clarity and integrity of the basic audio signal
of the phones. This helps to ensure that even with the addition of all the
extra features, it is still possible to use the smartphone to make a simple
telephone call and expect the sound quality to be crisp and clear.
