well, it should be good for insane areas, but for people who live in cities (the great majority), that phone is just crap.
Anyway, "smart" is a relative term. For some this phone is smart. For me, that phone is an extreme area survivor (in terms of call signal).
For me, a "smartphone" is a phone that can understand the requirements of the user with very few commands (if none, it's even better), and can get additional functions in little time (that's why all actual smartphones can get applications throught the internet). It's true that updates and reboots are annoying, but the "real smartphones" can be programmed to apply the update in specific times (for example, at 3:00 am, when i'm sleeping). Battery life is another issue, so a smartphone must use the resources very efficiently (not using full power when not needed is one of the good ways, and the addition of solar power could be good).
Don't take me wrong Wolfgang Gruener, but for me your article is totally out of place. You should first read the definition os "smart" and "smartphone" and then write an article about smartphones.
And for all users: Sorry for my bad english, i'm still learning...
