I seem to recall a magazine ad bragging about those phones being the first with a "print quality" screen, but most people would never have paid attention back then.
The 2007 Toshiba G900 also had 3G HSDPA, WiFi, Opera browser, MS Office, a front-facing camera for video calls, and ... a fingerprint reader.
The fingerprint reader wasn't just for security. It could also be used as an alternative mouse pad for quick vertical scrolling on the web or lists.
Perhaps coolest (and weirdest) of all, you could use it as a fingerprint based app launcher, assigning different apps to different fingers!
You're very gracious.
It's actually helpful that smartphone "newcomers" post such mistaken concepts now and again, because it provides a good opportunity to bring up history that might otherwise be forgotten.
Other misconceptions include ideas that that all other phones had keyboards, that Apple invented touchscreen phones, pinch zoom, apps or app stores or even the word "app", that Apple was the first to use Google Maps, and so many other things.
