I hope my 2018 iphone lasts longer. I thought we got over chunky early 2010s phones like 5 years ago wide phones also tend to have battery problems.

The difference is that 2000s phones weren't touchscreen, and they weren't optimized for internet and social media use When it comes to touch screen and capabilities, the bigger the screen the better It's just way easier to type and browse on a bigger phone, also it's way easier to take pictures and watch videos on a bigger phone "Then just buy a tablet" Smartphones (even the ridiculously large ones) are optimized for casual use, Tablets are more of a niche thing

Anyways, the majority of people in 2009 (I'm talking about the entire world) did not have a touch screen smartphone. Late 00s blackberries were not touch screen. Smartphones screens became bigger as people realized that it was way easier to use a touch screen phone with a bigger screen Of course smartphones were smaller when they first became popular (early 10s), it was new tech and most people didn't know that bigger screen meant easier to grasp and use Once people realized touch screen worked better with bigger screens they started buying phones with bigger, manufacturers started making bigger phones and the rest is history

There is a big difference between if something is popular vs widespread use. Ps5 is popular in 2021 but does everyone have one ? no

touchscreen phones weren't the norm in the late 00s nope but smartphones were I'm talking about the typical smartphone Wonky blackberries with huge keyboards are not typical Blackberry phones had smaller screens (and were smaller) because they weren't touchscreen and their keyboards occupied a huge space Once we got rid of the wonky keyboards the screens (and by consequence the phones) started growing in size Hell, the original iphone already had a much bigger screen than your average 2005-2008 phone People want big screens, that's why big phones are popular nowadays. Bigger screens demand bigger phones

Wow this is the third or fourth time about the argument of what constitutes or doesn’t constitute a smartphone. A Blackberry Peal is a smartphone. Yes it came out in late 2006 and has physical keyboards, but by definition it’s a smartphone. A smartphone doesn’t need to be touchscreen. Just because Blackberry Pearls are primitive compared to today’s smartphones, doesn’t make them any less of a smartphone. If we were to use the logic of Blackberry Pearls not being smartphones, then iPhones, Androids and Window phones from the early 2010s shouldn’t count as smartphones because they’re primitive compared to today’s smartphones. Here’s an excerpt from a December 14, 2006 article that talks about smartphones and Blackberry Pearls:www.computerworld.com/article/2548909/why-the-blackberry-pearl-is-the-smart-phone-of-the-future.amp.html“I believe three features made BlackBerries famous: 1) pager-like e-mail that notifies you when you've got a message, 2) RIM's patented QWERTY keyboard design and 3) scroll-wheel navigation.” According to PhoneScoop:www.phonescoop.com/phones/phone.php?p=1053“RIM's first BlackBerry with a full set of multimedia features for consumers. Upgrades over the 7100 series include a camera, memory card slot, music player, and voice dialing. The 8100 series is also lighter and thinner, and replaces the scroll wheel with a 4-way trackball. Other features include EDGE data, Bluetooth 2.0, SureType text keypad, and push email.”

Other features include EDGE data, Bluetooth 2.0, SureType text keypad, and push email.” Pretty much. Smartphones existed before modern variety (modern variety is based on the iphone design and general/smart features, touch tech and interactive apps and activity integration). Mid 2000s to very early 10s smartphones, is when there was a visible surge in smartphones and visible popularity even if they didn't fully take over and regular phones were still dominant, anyone doubting that had to be there. In the 2000s, there was a difference between a regular phone and smart phone, a smartphone pre iphone taking over, was based on more advanced storage, camera, games, internet capilities/Wi-FI (3g on your phone in the mid 2000s), more advanced film/camera benefits, sound, speed, bluetooth, messaging features, video calling features, GPS, keyboard, video features, and screen advantages and capabilities that weren't typically available together in regular phones.This isn't subjective, smartphones were based on that then. I don't think it's possible to redefine what a smartphone is, as companies who make products have laid out these defintion and classfied their products as smartphones. Mid to late 2000s is when smartphones become more common. In the early 2000s, or even mid 90s to early 2000s, this is when they were obscure and novelty, and centered around for those in the business world, they were entirely visible in the mid 2000s, even in 2004-2005, even starting starting around 2003ish. But 2006 is noted for bigger variety, peak visibility within that era and popular blackberry models. It didn't just start out of nowhere in 2007 and take off in 2011, thats that is just modern 2010s smartphones, not smartphones, smartphones in 20 years from now may look nothing like 2011 or 2010s smartphones, or like ancient gigantic 1994-2000 smartphones, where the main features were an organizer or dial up connecting a cable that very people bought, however PDAs like palm pilot (pre are adjacent but slightly different than smartphone) which business people used were popular in the 90s, among them and later on pocket pcs are very closer but distinct but were popular in general the latter 2000s a bit more than earlier, sometimes people confuse them with smartphones, but there were some smartphone/pocket pc combos. It's like trying to redefine what the color blue is. They didn't fully take over nor were they obscure. Anyone who thinks they were obscure in the 2000s or didn't exist based on google searching, wasn't there or hasn't done enough research. If you lived in place that properly distributed modern technology or were old to enough in the 2000s you would likely notice a number of people using blackberries or numerous smartphones despite regular basic slider/flip phones being predominant. Microsoft representative answering what a smartphone is in 2005: "SmartPhones are basically advanced cell phones. Their main usage is making phone calls, but they also include applications like calendar, tasks, windows media player, solitaire ++. You can also connect the SmartPhone to the internet if you have a wireless data plan. This would allow you to do stuff like browse web pages and chat using instant messaging. SmartPhone Thoughts is a great web page for SmartPhone related information. Here's a picture of a typical SmartPhone." social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/8bea7401-d702-4063-8d59-7a95c787c9f2/difference-between-smartphone-and-the-pocketpc#:~:text=Pocket%20PCs%20are%20Personal%20Digital%20Assistant%20%28PDA%29%20devices.,like%20calendar%2C%20tasks%2C%20Pocket%20Word%20and%20Pocket%20Excel. 2006: Smartphone with pocket pc features (these were also common) www.gsmarena.com/hp_ipaq_hw6915-1459.php2005-2011 Smartphones by Nokia brand (brand officially classifies them as smartphones) : 2005: Pocket PCs: 2003: When smartphones had a limited niche business focused market, somewhat obscure 1996: When smartphones were obscure and novelty: 1998: Palm Pilot PDA (not smarphone) these were common the business world from the mid 90s and early 2000s
