Yes wrong forum to pick such an apple centristic definition of smartphone. Sorry to mislead you.

But hey, i am so unfair and measure in market success, which came from convenience and a redefinition of the market.

Quote me in 10 years if you like: we will have no smartphone alikes anymore.
The display/device unification we witnessed over the past 10 years was only founded in technical limitations, namely missing wireless standards to effortlessly share an output to any screen.
Screens will be Screens again in my "convenince wins Vision".
Displaying content will happen wireless to multiple dumb screens in all sizes to match the current workflow all around us.

All i ever asked for is one personal trustworthy device for interaction and storage.
I did not ask to attach a battery hungry but always to small display to it, i already have them. All around me in every room and soon my glasses will have a subtile low energy HD beamer directly to my iris!.

And where is the most convenient place to have that master device.
Your wrist or a even more subtile place i lack the imgination to find.
Sailfish gestures would have been killer to operate on a watch and use its small display as a kind of trackpad mainly to operate what is happening on bigger screens with content.

The one thing that makes everyone look like a complete ***** when trying the half baked versions of watches or glasses we have now, is the user having to concentrate on what he is doing and detaches himself from the outside world for that time.

What i hate most about phones is that i constantly let them fall, have to search them and need at least one hand to operate.

Makers of Dick Tracey got it right decades ago.
Everything since then is a puny milestone on the way.

+1 to that.
On the same vein...
In my downtime this past year I've been working on a pair of leather and antler arm bands (leather form and strapping and protective antler top casing ) for the n900...
Wrist worn Smart _ _ _ nowaday?
It's not enough for me.
I still want that easy access.
But I want it all.
I concur Dick Tracy had it (almost) right.
Unfortunately anything with a screen size small enough for the wrist means even more attention must be paid to the display ...
meaning the same issue of withdrawal of attention from immediate surroundings.
(remember those very 1st wristworn tv's? I got one back in the day...it was great...but way too much serious focus was needed...displays are too small on the wrist.)
The larger the screen, the bigger the buttons, access and display, the less need to focus attentions away from day to day necessity.
The rough 1st armband case protos seemed to confirm that.

But Leela from Futurama was closer with her forearm Smartband comp.
