That 2.0 update was mind-blowing on its own. Smallest device you could browse the web with, I think? Pretty sure it was still the time of PDAs, before smartphones.

EDIT: Yeah, July 2005, 2 years before the iPhone came out.

I'd contest that the Blackberry devices were smaller and earlier, e.g the 7230 from 2003[0]. Pretty sure some of the iPAQs (and other CE devices) arrived with wifi and a browser before 2005 as well since Pocket PC 2000 shipped with a version of IE 3.1.

Handspring Trio had a web browser by (before?) 2003 with a touchscreen. I loved mine!
