The pre-smartphone phones were in practice frozen. I vaguely recall installing some game on the later ones via cable to the computer though. But anyways, smartphones are more open in practice than phones used to be. So not all bad developement.
(I am not mentioning the privacy drawbacks etc of new phones.)
