Pouring one out for my first smartphone, the 2002 Danger HipTop. It had an always-on GPRS data plan with a screaming 114 kbit/s of bandwidth, email and IM clients, plus a simple web browser. There were also some strange peripherals, like an extremely low res camera that connected as a microphone.
The OS was NetBSD + a Java runtime, which was the direct ancestor of Android (designed by the same person, but atop Linux).
