You are right, in a way. But losing your smartphone is like losing all your personal information. In that sense it is a personal computer.

Depends on your lifestyle and location. The only thing I use my cellphone for is text messaging and looking at wikipedia or part numbers when im not at home. It is definitely useful, but 95% of my computer work is still done on a PC.

No it is a "personal", but not "computer".

Not a general purpose computer, but still a computer.
