Smartphones Enrich Your LifeIf you’re not already living your life with a smartphone, then you could be closing your eyes to an entirely new world.

Unlike legacy cell phones that function mainly as a telephony device [with web as an afterthought], smartphones like the iPhone boast enriched communications where ‘everything web’ and ‘voice’ is brought to you full-time – on demand – in one tidy pocket-size package.

Whether you own the iPhone, Blackberry, Nokia or Motorola, each will put you in command and control of your online life. Smartphones turn the basic ‘phone call’ into a nice-to-have option as most of your time is bound to be spent thumbing through applications, email and web favorites.

Although the cost of a smartphone tends to spike higher than your average cell phone, the extra money you spend quickly turns into a nice return on investment as you realize the world at your fingertips – wherever you are – not just from a stationary computer terminal at your office or your home.

Smartphones give great access and clarity into how you sync and organize your life. Chores like finances, news, contacts and information sharing – all enhanced and centralized through visually pleasing applications like Mint, NetNewsWire, Gmail Contacts, Facebook and even Twitter.

You may even consider a smartphone as replacement for your PC or Mac. Dependent of course on how much of a power user you are, pretty much everything you [sit down] and do on your workstation or laptop can be done from a handheld.

The smartphone is not a perfect technology, but then again, no technology ever is. But with the advent of the iPhone and its subsequent ushering in of 10’s of thousands of applications, there appears to be no end in sight for the smartphone’s place in our world.

Do you own a smartphone? Don’t have one, but want one?
