Phone like the iphone before the iphone?

I made a bet, small bet, on something I did not know (not very smart, I'll admit that).

I bet that there was a phone similar to the iPhone before the iPhone came out. This phone needs to have two or more of the following features:

1.metal on the sidings
2.a front home button
3.a button on the top
4.a headphone jack on the top

and preferably it would be a smartphone with a touchscreen.

Thanks! Please give the name of the phone if you know of one!

The LG Prada was released one month before the first iPhone was released. LG claimed that the design of the iPhone was stolen from the design of the Prada, which was announced in December 2006.

HTC had a few "smart phones" before the iPhone… All based on the windows mobile system.

The iPhone design was unique all its own by the time it debuted. Most smartphones prior to that were following the BlackBerry design philosophy i.e. Small, non touchscreens with full physical QWERTY keyboards. The Motorola Q was an example of this. Those that had a touchscreen required a stylus to work, like the Palm Treo or Sony Ericsson P910i

Of course since then most have adopted the iPhone design i.e. Slate device with a touchscreen (no stylus) & minimal use of buttons except for necessary features like power/lock, volume, & a home button.

  • Why is my iPhone using Wi-Fi now and not LTE like it was before? I got my first iphone about a month ago. It said that it was using Sprint LTE (supposedly faster connection). I hooked it up to my MacBook Air and it updated the phone right there. Now it's using my house's Wi-Fi. My question is… WILL MY PHONE GO BACK TO LTE IF IT CAN'T FIND Wi-Fi SIGNAL? I'm new with all of the Apple products and syncing them together. And another thing. I'm downloading music into my laptop. How do I transfer it to my iPhone?
  • Why aren't my hash tags on Instagram working like they did before? Okay, so I put hash tags on every picture I have on Instagram and it used to get as much as 50 likes and I would get a ton of followers. For about a week my pics aren't getting as much likes as they used to. It's so annoying. Do I change my hast tags? Do I re-install the app again? (By the way I have an Iphone) (My profile is not on private).
  • What straight talk phone holds text messages like a conversation like an iphone does? I really want a phone that can hold conversations so I don't have to keep deleting messages. I use straight talk from walmart.
