Psion is the big one - the Organiser, Series 3 and Series 5 in particular. The latter was the genesis of Symbian, which Motorola was also a partner in.

Psions were PDAs, not really in the smartphone arena until their OS (EPOC?) became Symbian and started appearing on Nokia phones.

Same for Palm - it wasn’t until the Treo series that they started trying to make inroads in the smartphone field.

I had both Palm PDAs (a V and a tungsten 3) and a psion (diamond Mako), fun times with portable computers.
