Smart Communications recently launched their own Android phone (NetPhone 701) that features SmartNet which aims to offer an ‘always on‘ affordable internet service through an IP connectivity, much like how RiM’s BBM service works.

Here’s how its done:
- Download smartnet.apk file

- Browse through your downloads folder
- Tap smartnet.apk file and and then press install

Let me know your overall social experience with the app on the comments section below.
