https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LG_Prada for example. It looks pretty much like iPhone — no keyboard, just touchscreen. But it did not really "spark joy" (I had one), so it wasn't a big success unlike iPhone.

Thanks for posting that, I didn't remember that one. That's one of the only ones I would consider a "true" predecessor to the iPhone - as you say, capacitive touchscreen and no keyboard. Other ones that have a touchscreen but also a number keypad or something like a slideout/flip keyboard are just not ones I would consider in the same category.
