Having a Smartphone not only means having Internet access through mobile phone, but we (me for sure) indeed expect Smartphones to have a lot more amazing features, rather than email facility, MMS send/receive feature, and being able to install several apps (as per the requirement). How can I forget to mention an amazing camera being a must-have feature? Anyway, smartphones do have a camera for sure, but it has to be able to capture real-time pictures and videos to be called an actual Smartphone.
