What is the differnce between a computer and a cellphone?

[siemprepeligroso]

What I am curious about and eager to understand is about the difference between a computer and new era cell phone since both of them have display/monitor, input/output, primary(secondary) memories, CPU, mass storage (memory cards), I guess I am missing something, my question has to do with the ARCHITECTURAL and ORGANIZATIONAL part of both devices...
PLS HELP ME
Thank you

Computer:
It uses microprocessor with higher power up to the order of Watt
Cell Phone:
Low power processor means save battery, reduce heat, lower speed, and much more minimums.

Computer:
It has a north and south bridge, BIOS, super power graphic cards, and not to mention DDRs with tremendous power consuming.
Cell Phone:
none

Computer:
You can put a massive heat sink, bunch of fans, and can weight up to 25Kg for desk top or several Kg for laptop.
Cell Phone:
No one wants to buy a 25Kg phone.

Computer:
You buy it at a computer shop.
Cell Phone:
You buy it at a cell phone shop.

Computer:
To call your friend with PC, you cannot place it beside your cheek
