. Just last week we brought you our interview with Marni Walden, Verizon's CMO, who discussed the carrier's iPhone, Android phones and BlackBerry devices, and that got us thinking: what was Verizon's first smartphone. We reached out and confirmed for this week's Throwback Thursday that it was indeed the Palm OS-powered Kyocera 6035, which made its debut on March 2nd, 2001. The phone, which was hailed by Verizon as combining the functionality of a PDA with the ubiquitous connectivity of a wireless phone, offered a flip-form factor with a numberpad that could be flipped down to reveal more of the 6035′s touchscreen display.
