I tend to think that smartphones must support installation of new applications, in which case I think the earliest is the Nokia 9210 from 2001. However Wikipedia's entry on smartphones has a broader definition and examples from the 90s.

That WP article reads like an article on the PC written in 1981, perhaps citing mainframes and the apple ][ as part of the long PC history. I think that it is a stretch to call anything a smart phone unless it could browse the web. Anything else is a PDA/phone combo or feature phone. It might be time to rewrite that article. :)
