I just looked it up. It was actually 2007. Was there another computer cellphone before that? I'm not aware of any. There were cellphones that could make phone calls. But there were not apps, browsers, and so on, as far as I know. I welcome correction if I'm mistaken. In other words, people could make phone calls on wireless phones back in the 80s. But the cellphone lifestyle of banking, shopping, getting directions, texting, etc is fairly recent. (Remember that there's also the lag between when iPhone came out and when computer cellphones became ubiquitous.)
