Those weren't phones too though. When I got the HTC I had a convergence device.

The Visor Edges weren't phones (although you could turn them into one with the Springboard module), but the Treos were. Like you, I was providing an example of a smartphone earlier than the iPhone that ran third-party apps. Obviously Apple upped the ante considerably, but the precursors were there.
I did actually read some books on my old monochrome Palm PDAs, but it really took off for me with the Palm T/X.
