> a number of commentators seem to have forgotten that their smartphones are first and foremost are telephones and not playtoy computers.

Speaking for myself at least, I can tell you that it's not so much that I forgot as that I don't care and also you're wrong. Yes, it's good - perhaps even important - that the computer I carry in my pocket every day can also theoretically make phone calls, but it is most certainly first and foremost a computer.



Nope. It's called a smartphone, that should be your first clue that it's actually a phone. Also, not a very good computer.


It's "smart" before "phone".
