My smartphone has MS Office compatible word processor, spreadsheet, and database
Yeah, but without a proper full-sized input device, how productive are you really going to be in those applications? I *hate* the touchscreen "keyboard" on the iPhone, and the teeny-tiny chicklet keys on Crackberrys and Treos aren't any better. Don't get me started on using the Wiimote to hunt and peck in Wii Opera (which is why Nintendo was totally right to introduce the USB keyboard driver).
About the best mobile device keyboard I've seen is the slide-out one on the HTC line of smartphones, but even then, composing something that's even the length of this post would take way longer and be way more of a PITA than it's worth.
I'm still not sold on ditching my laptop for a smartphone just yet.
