There is no specific industry standard for what is considered a smart phone, but there are some knacks that each carry:

Please vote below.Â
In the “comments” section explain your choice of why you prefer a specific phone or why you do not.
If you voted “Other,” tell me why and which phone you prefer that is not listed above.
