Not related at all to what I quoted and responded to. Also not a prerequisite for being a smartphone. It's what's inside, not outside.

- raldi 5y agoI think if you grabbed someone off the street and handed them a phone that didn't scroll when they dragged their finger across the screen, and then asked if they considered it a smartphone, the overwhelming majority of such people would say no. But you and I can disagree on that prediction.
- rospaya 5y agoYou may be right about that, but a smartphone had a definition back in the day. There were touchscreens on non-smartphones and there were smartphones without a touchscreen, it's the software that makes it smart, not the hardware, whatever the man on the street says. The US didn't get the penetration the rest of the world had by Nokia and others so you folks had a raw deal and shitty carrier-neutered phones until Apple came along. (also I think you once helped me recover my reddit account over IRC like 10 years ago so thanks if that was you)
