Nokia did pioneer using the smartphone as a decent digital camera (among other things).

For instance decent enough to take a picture of an A4 page and be able to read it afterwards.

And IMAP support.

And Opera mini was a good enough browser, though mostly for text, as indeed 3G cellular (which the first iPhone didn't have) then cost 1000€/Go (funnily enough, that felt cheap and fast at the time, because it indeed was compared to what came before).

(Also video calls, though those are still niche for phones.)

And I hear Nokias were themselves quite primitive compared to what Japan had ?
