Owner


A "Smartphone owner" would be a common term used to describe anyone who owned such a phone.

I have never seen the use of "intender" used in US English.

There could be an application for the term "smartphone user", referring to one who uses or is intended to use such a phone.
Note from asker:
Thank you Demi.

Who is a Smartphone Intender?

45% male, 55% female
50% of them are between 18 and 34 years old
Feeling left out of new technology
View themselves as "technology-savvy" and familiar with services like Facebook and Google
Smartphone Intenders are twice as likely to be undecided about which smartphone brand to purchase!


What is the opportunity?

They're ready to step up to a smartphone
They haven't decided on a smartphone brand
Almost half of all smartphone sales for 2011 will be to first-time and feature phone users, presenting a great selling opportunity
