Most feature phones of the era could install J2ME apps, which had pretty deep APIs (including GPS, hardware 3D graphics, Bluetooth, camera, filesystem, J2ME live wallpapers etc) and on higher-end feature phones could be multitasked.
When the iPhone launched, people called it a smartphone even though you couldn't install apps. Multitasking was also years away.
"Smartphone" has never meant anything really. Just marketing.
