The iPhone is kind of 'in between'. It's a feature phone with a lot of potential.
However, until it has (nearly) out-of-the-box support for tethering and push email, I will not consider it a smartphone. I'm tempted to require a removable battery too, but not for any real business reasons...only because the lack thereof simply offends me.
I'm sure lots of business weenies convince themselves that it's a smartphone...but that's just so they can play games on it.
