The iPhone has everything you need - phone, Internet access, games, music, and digital camera.
It is so much fun to play around with that you won't care if you have to wait in line at the post office since it can help the time fly.
Once you've learned the basics, here are a few tricks to get even more out of it: 1.
Don't forget the videos - What better way to spend your time than by watching funny clips or music videos on your device.
Try checking out YouTube today! If a video doesn't work, you might have to make sure the format is set to work on your phone, then try again.
2.
Improve your spelling - To make you look good, any potentially misspelled words are flagged - a feature that can save you some embarrassment from business colleagues.
However, if you are sure a word is spelled correctly, you can teach your phone the new word.
Just press 3 times to cancel any correction and the word automatically becomes part of your spelling directory! 3.
Getting a designer theme - After investing a good chunk of change on an iPhone, you will most likely want yours to be unique.
If so, try downloading some free themes directly onto your device.
Several websites offer the "hack toolkit" which allows you to modify your theme to suit your mood.
4.
Get a closer peek - If you tap and hold, you will be able to bring up the magnifying glass.
This lets you zoom right in on any section of the screen.
This is a great alternative to changing the font size when editing text messages.
5.
Speed-scrolling - iPhones let you scroll very quickly with the touch-sensitive screen.
But, if you get to the bottom of a web page and want to re-read the top of the page just tap once at the top of the screen.
Tapping there will return you to the top of the page - just as if you pushed the home key on your computer! Hopefully you have learned some new iPhone tips and shortcuts today.
Next time you're using your device, why not try to speed-scroll, zoom in, or watch YouTube videos!
