The RAZR didn’t exist until 2004[0], which is mid-2000s to me, not early 2000s. Nokia very much
owned the GSM market in the US from 1997-2003. The problem is they didn’t innovate and got left behind (personal opinion on that part, but I feel it’s a justified opinion). I personally stuck with Nokia because a “cool looking” phone was less important to me than having Symbian. Until the iPhone came out, Symbian was the best OS imho (but that isn’t saying much).
I think the issue sibling comment to yours was getting at but not directly saying, is that humans have a bad habit of not remembering exact time periods for non-important distant past things. It’s why I cross reference on Wikipedia or other sources before stating things matter of factly for anything I’m pretty sure about, but not positive on. Wish more folks did that!
