They patented it in 1996.

I thought they filed in 1996.

You're probably right, but that's irrelevant here: a 2005 phone isn't invalidating prior art for a patent filed in 1996. In fact, for some forms of disclosure, there's a cushion of 12 months prior to filing, meaning that conceivably a phone could have been disclosed in 1995 that wouldn't invalidate this one.

No, but you made it seem silly somebody would even create the 2005 phone when the patent had been granted in 1995.
