While he definitely comes across as clueless, is "smartphone" really an adequate name?

Yes. It is the standard, universal term.

You completely missed my point.  It wasn't whether "smartphone" had become the standard English term for the device, it was that since smartphones have such a wide array of features unrelated to telephony, is the name adequate to describing what it is put to use for by those who would be lost without being connected 24/7 to the cloud?

And besides, we have a name for a smartphone minus it's phone capabilities: a tablet.
Really?
