Including the Apple Newton, arguably the first handheld device.

I still think the iPhone was "safer" than all those others (every single one of those listed had its ardent defenders, mind you) because so many people had iPods and it was "an iPod that can make phone calls" - so there was less risk buying it, especially after the price drop to $399 for the 8 GB (you could pick up 4GB quite cheap, then).

The iPod classic was $349 (for many more songs, admittedly), but the prices were comparable.
