And a phone with a camera (or maybe 2) , calendar, and some games , is it still dumb?
I bought a supposed smartphone (a Samsung Omnia i900) only to discover that it was so dumb that it even lacked voice dialling.
Then I changed it with the Omnia i910 which apparently is smart enough to have at least this basic feature.
Some people call a smartphone even the iPhone with its pathetic camera, lack of MMS and of copy/paste, impossibility of using it as modem, etc, etc.
And the Nokia 5800? Is it a smartphone or only the N series models qualify?

In my opinion is smart only the phone that is right for you : for me anything without a decent browser with Copy & paste, a good camera/videocam, possibility to send and receive MMS and videocalls, a decent media player, push email, a usable calendar, easy sync'ing to PCs, modem function, WIFI , Bluetooth, voice dialling, a-gps , and some other things , just is'nt smart enough, and actually most phones with all of the above things are not smart enough anyway.
Now that I think about it, I'm still looking for a real "Smart" phone: my HTC touch HD and my Samsung Omnia i910 are the smartest phones I found but I really hope to find something smarter in the new crop of phones that we have been promised before the summer.
