Got an iphone, any tips?
Sadly I have been pretty behind on technology over the past 5 years. Have had a cheapo Gophone for two years (only had a landline before that). I now have upgraded to an iphone and I love having a smartphone now. The Gophone had no keyboard so it took 100 years to just text a sentence! And to actually be able to get on the net with a phone is so cool.
Anyone have any tips or cool apps they like? Any info at all would be welcome because I am still a complete smart phone dummy LOL. I am learning though. |

Depends on the kind of apps you are looking for. Time wasters, useful apps, showing off apps... There are many different kinds .

Re: Got an iphone, any tips?
The iPhone comes with a touch-screen keyboard only, which sucks for some - others find it fine. I personally prefer the pull out/flip out keyboards. You can buy them on ebay for $30-$70 as a seperate attachment. Apple don't make them afaik. If you don't like using flawed touchscreen keys, this will be very important to you. It is actually the reason I kepy my Blackberry for so long. Then, I moved onto the iPhone briefly, but switched to the Droid - which I am so happy with. The pictures it takes, the functionlity with it and my computer, the bluetooth capability etc. are all stellar. But iPhone is fun, if you can get over the virtual keyboard.

Re: Got an iphone, any tips?
I just upgraded to an Android-based phone, so I've got the same questions... what don't I know about?
I don't know if they're available on iPhone or not, but categories of things that have been suggested to me include...
After that, it depends on what you might want to do.
