The iPhone was also the first mobile phone with a touchscreen that worked really well with just your fingers.

Also AFAIK, iPhone was first mainstream device with multi-touch.

At the time I had limited experience, but personally I thought touch screens would never work, because they were slow, imprecise and unresponsive (often worked with special pen only) and then iPhone came with buttery smooth experience and multi-touch. Mind blown.

No, HTC was the first one to explore a touch only interface.

Even before the HTC Touch, their WinMo version allowed for touch only operation for 3-4 years.
