>PDAs and 'smartphones' didn't become mainstream pre-Apple, but their design was also more productive.

More productive than your current iPhone or Android phone?

That's some seriously rose colored glasses.

And I had $800 "smartphones" pre iPhone, and they were all crap...

Not more productive than the original iPhone which didn't have apps, 3G or Flash

Apps and 3G literally came the following model year. Flash never mattered for anybody on mobile.

Flash as a productivity app? Even Flex was an abomination on the desktop.

My 500 euro Symbian smartphones were quite ok, and by the time the unfortunate "Burning Platform" memo arrived, it was quite good and Symbian C++ was finally on its way out, we had Qt, Java, Python and Web Widgets to play with as platform languages.
