Did middle class people have smartphones in 2008?

I was using a cheap flip phone in 2008, but I don't really remember how common smart phones were at that time.
I need to know for some accuracy in a story I'm writing. Is it realistic that a teenager from a middle class family in 2008 has a smartphone?

They did, I just don't think they were all big flat touch screens like they often are today. They slid to reveal keyboards or they looked like the Blackberry.
