A smartphone is a full-featured mobile phone with personal computer like functionality. Most smartphones are cellphones that support full featured email capabilities with the functionality of a complete personal organizer. An important feature of most smartphones is that applications for enhanced data processing and connectivity can be installed on the device,[1] in contrast to regular phones which support sandboxed applications. These applications may be developed by the manufacturer of the device, by the operator or by any other third-party software developer. "Smart" functionality includes any additional interface including a miniature QWERTY keyboard, a touch screen, or even just secure access to company mail, such as is provided by a BlackBerry.
The term smartphone is sometimes used to characterize a wireless telephone set with special computer-enabled features not previously associated with telephones.
In addition to functioning as an ordinary telephone, may include:
- Wireless e-mail, Internet, Web browsing, and fax
- Intercom function
- Personal information management
