Why revisionism? Even without 3G, the $20/mo unlimited 2G was a game-changer. Jailbroken Apps on the OG iPhone were a game changer (precursor of App Store). Maps (powered by Google) was a game changer. Movies watchable in mobile format was a game changer. The bloody screen (icons looked painted on) was a game changer.

I had a Palm 650 (which I loved) before that, the iPhone did almost everything better and cost less per month including data - and with iPhoneOS 2.0 had an immense upgrade.

It's revisionism to not see how impressive even the OG iPhone was.
