Mobile Phone

http://english.stackexchange.com/questions/10094/cell-phone-cell-mobile-phone-whats-the-correct-term

In the US, I've heard of cellular phone/cell phone/cell, and in Germany they call them handies

The cell phone providers usually call them "mobile" phones which is more precise since "cell" refers to a kind of technology.

In Chinese one of the common words for it is 手机, (shǒujī) which literally means "hand machine".

Also among younger people non-mobile-phones are becoming less-used and lots of people don't even have land-lines anymore, and those people, not needing the distinction between mobile and non-mobile phones, simply call it a "phone". (Note: I almost never hear people say telephone anymore either).

In Australia, it has traditionally been a "mobile" - never a "cell" (unless you are deliberately trying to sound American!).

However, it is increasingly becoming just a "phone", as landlines continue to disappear from households. The one clarifying term might be "my phone" - this would guarantee it to be a mobile phone, rather than a landline.

In the UK "mobile" or "mobile phone" were the main terms but I think that is being replaced now by just "phone" - which is strange in that that is the one thing they are least used as.

so there are smartphones. This term distinguishes the device in a bit different dimension; it describes the capabilities as opposed to older handheld devices (smartphones are the devices that combine a microcomputer and a telephone).
