So I'd suggest that if you go the smart phone route, take some time to check out the best hardware (processor etc) like you would a computer.

Agreed. I had a Palm Pre for a while and absolutely loved the operating system. The problem was that the phone just didn't have the horsepower to support it. Lots of problems. Now I have an Android phone and the OS is way less user-friendly. I guess I lost both ways. Such is life, I suppose.
