We start by noting that the probability that one student has a smart phone is $$0.64$$. Since we select three students independently, the probability that all three have a smart phone is:

$$
0.64^3 = 0.64 \times 0.64 \times 0.64
$$

Calculating step-by-step:

1. First, compute $$0.64 \times 0.64$$:

$$
0.64 \times 0.64 = 0.4096
$$

2. Then multiply the result by $$0.64$$:

$$
0.4096 \times 0.64 = 0.262144
$$

Rounded to three decimal places, the probability is:

$$
0.262
$$

Thus, the final answer is $$0.262$$.
The probability that all three students have a smart phone is 0.262.
