Tips and Reasons

Apples’s iPhone is definitely one of the best phones out there today. Even though it was realeased more than 2 years ago ( June 29, 2007), the technology it uses is still way ahead of what the others use. I got a 2G  iPhone (used) about a month ago, and am mighty pleased with how it works and performs. It is amazingly user friendly and made for humans with common sense. A few strong and good reasons to buy this device:

1. It is priced very competitively. I got a used one for INR 11,000 = 225 USD). You can get a new one for a lot more but I guarantee you its worth it!

2. It’s amazing touch technology is something that has dazzled people and it still does. Competitors have tried mocking or coming up with their own touch technology, but to put it plainly, they have done a miserable job. Its either unresponsive or not smooth as the iPhone’s interface.

3. The user-friendliness of this device is what I like the most. The navigation is  not something you need to learn but something that you discover naturally. It has got touch physics which means the phone responds to the speed at which you flick and touch the screen.

4. Instantly connects your phone and the internet (WiFi, 3G, GPRS), and does not treat them separately. You can make calls to any number listed on a website by just clicking on it. Using Google Maps on the iPhone is an absolute pleasure. I remember while using my old phone (motoming) I used to note down numbers from the internet and then dial them manually. Such a waste of time!

5.  SMS inbox is in a conversational format like gMail. You dont need to struggle looking for that message you received from a friend 3 months ago. All messages are clubbed based on who sent them and what you sent them…again, thats what I call ‘user-friendly.’

6. A host of amazing applications to download from the Apple App Store. This includes paid and free applications that range from games to business software.

7. Its long batterly life is what makes it an amazing device. It lasts for days in standby and you can speak for hours together without worrying about your battery running out.

8. It is a video iPod plus a phone…need I say more?

If you are planning to purchase a phone any time soon, look nowhere else. As always, Apple is way ahead of its competition.
