Yes, everyone is talking about them and you’re wondering what all the hype is about. It’s just a phone right? Wrong! This is the phone/computer/music player/GPS/personal assistant of the future. Here are a few features that will have you ditching your Blackberry in no time.
- WiFi - your iPhone is wired for use practically everywhere! You can link up to any WiFi network to browse the internet or get connected, which means airports, Starbuck’s, your office. If there isn’t a WiFi connection, then use AT&T’s Edge cell network to get connected quickly.
- Email - all of your email accounts are in one place and easy to configure. Yahoo, Gmail, .mac, AOL and Outlook accounts can all be added to the phone. So, there’s not more logging on to your personal accounts at work.
- iPod - store your music on your phone. With 8GB of memory you’ll have enough room for all your favorite songs, podcasts, and movies. Plus, you can download directly from iTunes on your iPhone - no computer required!
- GPS - Google Maps is built into the phone with GPS capabilities. You don’t even need an address - search for restaurants and it’ll automatically find you the closes ones to your present location.
- Calendar - like email you can sync all of your account calendars into one.
- Camera and Photos - of course, this phone has a camera and iPhoto built in.
- World Clock - see the local time for all of your offices at a glance.
$399 may seem steep, but with all of these features it clearly beats the Blackberry, where current models are selling for $299.
