My Handspring with the gsm module was able to browse the net in 2001. I had also a ssh client and various net utilities. It was of course a dial-up connection, but a connection nevertheless.

Do you mean access the net or browse the web? I had a handspring around that time. I do not recall a webrowser app being available. IP connectivity does not imply browsing.
Even if you did, is would still make the original decades (plural) statement hard to stomach.
