Yes, a smartphone is a mobile phone that can be used as a small computer.

A smartphone that connects to the Internet can be so versatile that you don't really need a desktop or laptop. It seems eveybody here in China has such a smartphone - they read, watch or write on their phone whenever they have leisure or spare time, whether on the underground or metro, or in the line or queue, or even walking. 

That is to say, they have spent so much time learning or playing on their phone. They no longer use their computer that much. The thing is, a smartphone may not be that user-friendly when you are trying to read or write on a social networking website such as MyEC. So, it may have something to do with the smartphone that the number of blogs published here on MyEC each week or month has been dropping.

I, too, have got a smartphone and enjoyed it so much - no day is complete without finishing all the routine activities on my phone. Nevertheless, I can find the time to read and write on my laptop instead of smartphone, especially when I need to write a blog on MyEC or leave a comment on a blog by other members. Sometimes I'm just not so sure what to write. 

That said/Having said that, I could have written more blogs but for my smartphone. Obviously, if you really want to improve your English-writing skills, you need to spend more time reading or writing on MyEC on a computer that is more reader- or writer-friendly than a small hand phone. 

'have something to do with'  =  'something is related to something else'

'but for' = 'something would have happened if something had not prevented it'

    Yes, the smartphone can be used as a computer when you can't access the Internet by your computor. 

    @Lady

    So, the smartphone has its limitation - not that reader-friendly or eye-friendly:)

    By the way, great to see your comment again!
