> Almost everyone has a smart phone these days
In your social circles perhaps? Most of the world does emphatically not have a smart phone, and dumb phones still sell very well (more affordable and better battery life, for one). Go to any transport hub in Mexico for example and you won't find vendors hanging hundreds of styles of Androids and iPhones from their umbrella-shaded stands.

I'm not talking of 3G, but of any wireless internet. Wouldn't want a bank notify me of transactions with such unreliable means.
