Why are you thinking that these are different things...? We are not talking mutually exclusive featuresets here.

A smartphone is a converged device, with both PDA and telephony capabilities...

Try syncing a 9300 or a 9500 with a Mac. Ain't happening.

As a quick aside, does anyone else think Lotus Notes is devilware? I shudder to think about it now.
No but you clearly dissed the NGage as something claimed to be a smartphone, yet by the definition of the vast majority of people there and certainly Microsofts definition of what a smartphone is the NGage IS a smartphone with moderate capabilities.
Its a capable phone that can run a lot of third party apps(some of which have been requested by MS smartphone users for years and are still not available likeAvantgo) and which by definition is a Smartphone.
