1 LG Touchpoint 3000

Before smartphones, you may assume that all cellular devices looked like Nokias. But there were actually innovative cell phones that straddled the line between “dumb” and “smartphone” — including the LG Touchpoint 3000, which was introduced in 2000.

It featured a flip-up keyboard with a relatively basic touchscreen display. There were no apps, but you could tap on a contact to automatically dial that person (cutting-edge technology at the time). We may laugh now, but consider that the Touchpoint 3000 had an average battery life of 5.6 days.
