      Sony Ericsson P800, P900, P910, with P990, M600 and W-something coming early 2006.

      Nokia 9000, 9100, 9300(i), 9500.

      Also tons of hybrid PalmOS and Windows Mobile (both touchscreen-based and keypad-based) devices that fit the definition.

      There were tons of them, and all were infinitely capable than the first couple generations of iPhone or Android.

      Heck, I could install a browser with Flash support on my M600.

        Java was good already, but there were Symbian and Windows Mobile phones with native apps and crazy amount of functionality.

        Heck, a version of Windows Mobile 2003 was literally called “for Smartphone” and you could make Skype calls with it, never mind email.
