Looking To Buy Apple iPhone? Get The Details First

The iPhone is a technology marvel. The handheld device is one part iPod, one part cell phone and one part wireless Internet access. The feature list of the eagerly anticipated iPhone is remarkable. From the ability to listen to music and watch movies to cell phone and text capabilities to taking pictures and video all with on board Wi-Fi with fully functional web surfing capabilities, you can essentially do it all when you buy an Apple iPhone.

The iPhone is a beautiful device that prominently features a 3.5" display screen. Noticeably missing from the iPhone are all the buttons typically featured on existing handheld devices. That's because the iPhone utilizes the touch screen method to control input and navigation similar to the iPod.

The iPhone utilizes a version of the Mac Safari web browser which allows full web pages to be re-sized for viewing on the iPhone. It also allows you to zoom in and out of pages. One thing that needs to be addressed is, at the present time, you can't use the iPhone's web capabilities to download music or videos from iTunes. You will need to use your existing PC or Mac to download movies or music and then transfer to the iPhone. This is likely something that will be corrected.

If you're looking to buy the Apple iPhone, you will have two options, a 4GB model with a $499 retail tag and a 5GB version $ that will retail for $599. The iPhone is scheduled for a June 29, 2007 release.

AT&T (Cingular Wireless), is the exclusive iPhone carrier through 2009 so you may need to do a carrier shuffle if you decide to buy Apple iPhone and don't currently utilize the AT&T network.

iPhone's will be available on a first first come, first served basis.

Four Reasons Why You Should Buy the iPhone

iPhone iPod feature

The iPhone is not only a mobile phone. No no. When you buy an iPhone you will also get an iPod! This iPod function is very nice because of the big screen. You can play music as well as video.

iPhone visual voicemail feature

The iPhone also has a very nice voicemail function. It’s a so called visual voicemail. With the visual voicemail you can go directly to any message. You don’t have to listen to the other messages first. I think this is a very nice iPhone feature. Now you don’t have to waste any time by listening to other messages…

iPhone internet feature

The iPhone features a HTML email client and the best mobile browser, Safari. You can easily synchronize bookmarks from your Mac or PC.

iPhone Google maps feature

With Google maps and the maps application from the iPhone you can view maps and satellite images. You can also go directly to traffic information. A nice feature nowadays…

There are a lot more iPhone features but the four I mentioned are a few reasons why I will by the iPhone. I also like the touch function. No more buttons to press...

Another thing I like are it's looks. It has a nice 3.5 screen. I only think that the iPhone is rather big. I don't think it will fit in pocket anymore.. But with such a nice looking phone I'm not embarrassed to show it to the world!
