  In all honesty, the first smartphones comparable to the iPhone were Windows Phones. The problem is that the low responsiveness, the unintuitive Desktop computer style UI, need for a stylus, the high weight, the ugly designs, the fragile screens and lack of an app store made them in practice unusable for the common person.
