No, keep it a handheld with buttons. A phone-like machine would ruin Nintendo.

But what if it didn't.  What if it was the right combination of buttons and lack of buttons coinciding within the same machine?  That's a riddle with so far no answer, but isn't it the future when there is an answer?  Which ever company is able to answer it, it will drive the next generation of mobile gaming.  There are people out there that have 3ds and phones all at the same time, rare, but there is that devotion.  How easy would it be to convince someone who had no real devotion to gaming, but see that the option is there? 

I don't think the hardcore fans, the ones that buy most of the games would like that. 

Not to mention that the smartphone market it's saturated. Nintendo would now have to compete with smartphones. It would even feel gimmicky, Nintendo would never take that risk because it's just not smart to do that when you keep selling so well with your own formula.
