It’s really a squandered opportunity.
It’s hard to remember how primitive the US wireless ecosystem was (expensive, slow, metered, no data support) prior to the release of the iphone. Texting was considered exciting and novel in 2000!
Meanwhile my PHS Keitai and Nokia GPS covered me elsewhere with messaging, data, images and clean handoff and such unimaginable on my crappy Motorola AMPS phone (I was on the road a lot back then)
