I have a question. What should we smartphone users expect to get from a device.

If it's like a PC, you get the operating system and that's all, no goodies, no apps that provide productivity.

So should we expect to get more on a smartphone other than a device and it's OS, that will allow applications built for it to run on the device.

I personally, think utilities should be free, and file manager, backup, communication abilities, and the web browser, contacts, calendar, email. And these should all work correctly and not have a need to purchase products to get around things that were not done correctly or included. (PocketMirror, should have been provided to those that do not want to 'synergize'.)

After that, I'm not sure what they should be providing us for free.

Just thinking out loud about this question!

PS I do remember, that in my case, the Treo 650 Docs to Go, was included but it was not the premium version, which that you had to pay for.
