    The Definition I’ve always been taught:

    a phone with the ability to install and run applications from an application repository (often called an “app store”) without needing to “sideload” via USB

    So no, your definition isn’t inclusive of Smart Phones

    Pre-smart would have the applications only be those set by a provider, and no way (without manually sideload installing via USB) to install extra applications

    Edit: apparently I can’t spell “applications”, put it as “aplications”
