Close - it was the Timeport L7089, which came out in late 1999. The P7389 was the same phone with a WAP browser (and was, along with the Nokia 7110, just about the first WAP-equipped phone). The 7089 was a blue color, while the 7389 was silver. (My 7389 still works just fine - I got in on 30 January 2000, and remember the date for some reason. You can still use the browser, though it's pretty painful experience.)
