Wikipedia:
A smartphone is a high-end mobile phone[1][2][3] which combines the functions of a personal digital assistant (PDA) and a mobile phone. Today's models typically also serve as portable media players and camera phones with high-resolution touchscreens, web browsers that can access and properly display standard web pages rather than only mobile-optimized sites, GPS navigation, Wi-Fi and mobile broadband access.
The term smartphone is usually used to describe phones with more advanced computing ability and connectivity than a contemporary feature phone, although the distinction can be vague and there is no official definition for what constitutes the difference between them.
A feature phone is typically based on proprietary firmware, while a smartphone runs a more open and complete mobile operating system.[2] Widespread examples of smartphone operating systems are Apple's iOS, Google's Android, Microsoft's Windows Phone 7, Nokia'sSymbian, RIM's BlackBerry OS, and embedded Linux distributions such as Maemo and MeeGo.
Smartphones can run third-party applications using advanced application programming interfaces (APIs).
Allthough most of today's feature phones are also able to run third-party applications, for example mobile games, these applications are based on rather limited platforms such as Java ME (a virtual machine) or BREW (a pseudo-OS for native code).[1] A smartphone mobile appintegrates more tightly with the user interface and other phone features than a feature phone application, and relies on a more powerfulapplication programming interface (API).[4]
In 2000, the touchscreen Ericsson R380 Smartphone was released.[9] It was the first device to use an open operating system, the Symbian OS.[10] It was the first device marketed as a 'smartphone'.[11] It combined the functions of a mobile phone and a personal digital assistant (PDA).
