@ChrisH said:Because it didn't have a touchscreen back when "touch"screens were resistive and sucked ass?
My Blackjack II was a Windows phone, and thus a smartphone, but it didn't have a touchscreen. I think OS, loosely speaking, is a major consideration. Windows, iOS, Android, form a nonexhaustive list of "if the phone is running this, it's a smartphone". Symbian I am willing to consider as a possibility but I tend to lean towards no. I don't know what that phone was, but that was probably the criterion for exclusion, OS.
Moto's old OS, that the Razr etc used, also, not a smartphone.
