The purpose of this study is to investigate the research model attempting to explain factors influencing consumers' attitude towards Smartphone adoption and behavioral intention to use a Smartphone. The 357 sets of data are tested against the model using SEM (structural equation model). The research results reveal that organizational and social influences, consumers' self-actualization, and trust affect consumers' attitude towards Smartphone adoption, and behavioral control influences behavioral intention. Implications of the findings suggest that Smartphone should be approached with a holistic view, suggesting that Smartphone research should emphasize Smartphone as a convergent device including both hardware and software with services and applications. Research results are discussed, and limitations of the current study and future research are presented.
