I find smartphone screens so small as to be nearly useless for remote control, and when coupled with the lack of a decent keyboard the whole thing is just too painful for me to bear. I also don't like the phones for email access either - I get so much email that it's worthless for that as well, and again, the lack of a decent keyboard is crippling.
If you want the smartphone just for fast access, you might want to talk with Verizon about getting a USB modem for your laptop, and get another dumb phone, and then perhaps take a look at one of the new Ultrabooks, with really fast boot times, so that checking on things isn't so slow as booting a standard laptop.
