That is interesting. I'm not surprised Japan was ahead, but not by over a decade.
My dad had a landline until probably 2018. I'm guessing it must have been bundled with some network package because he had two smart phones by then.
The timeline of technology is absolutely crazy, especially phones. Like you mentioned, it hasn't even been that long. I got my first "smartphone" in maybe 2012.
