to love about iPhoneI personally took delivery of my iPhone in early September, the start of a one-month trial that has seen the office for the very long periods and only in touch with the world through my phone.  It was a baptism of fire for me and the device. You will have seen the ads, played with it in the phone shops, observed over fellow commuters' shoulders, borrowed your friend 's great … isn' t it?  Or is it? This article touches on some of the best things about the device that wowed me completely.  Or even just a bit.  And to make the balance of karma I have a heavenly companion article on some of the things that drive absolutely nuts.  There 's enough material for both articles, assure him! So here we go, in reverse, the 10 things you should love about the iPhone! 10. The organisationOne of voicemail features more of the alarms is a sense that organizes your voicemail for.  Using the number of voicemail, ascoltante all messages in your mailbox I came in to get to those who want to hear.  There are, in a list, with real names instead of numbers when the phone number in your contact list.  You can go right to the message you want and avoid calls junk.  you aren 't confined to expire on messages that kept your phone provider requires – will remain on your device until you need them.  It 's even got the recovery of deleted file, with the deleted messages that remain in your dustbin until commetteste the delete.9. organisationIf SMS text like the sense that the iPhone directs your voicemail, you 'll love the organization of SMS even more.  SMS messages are organized by the name of third parties as before, but even better when punched down by third parties that the messages themselves are displayed, in order, because a number of citations as an instant message dialogue, so you can see the entire conversation.  So good, so obvious, so why hasn 't done it before? 8. The keyboardOne Onscreen of the things that strikes him about the iPhone is the absence of the entire keyboard or stylus.  In fact it 's almost devoid of keys, one of the criticisms I level against the lack of iPhone.The keyboard was one of the reasons I made the switch to delay iPhone in the first place. To solve probably 60% of the time and my PDA is often my only connection with my trade while the office.  sending the email via a keyboard T9 is not that of the keyboards ideal ee most soft has seen so far be frustratingly slow.  I had a couple of PDAs do with the slide-out keyboard, and these may be satisfactory, but also makes the device heavier, more layered and less attractive as a phone. The keyboard springs iPhone is surprisingly good.  I watched some demonstrations on YouTube before ordering the iPhone but I had doubts about how annoying they were realistic.  I do not have to be concerned with: Real is as good as the demonstrations suggest.  The AutoCorrect works by comparing what you type with the keys around the key hit, so if hit by an "h" instead of a "g" and this will correct your mistake. It isn 't perfect, however. I have constant problems reaching the key to the spacing and seem to hit the "letter b" instead. The correction takes key presses fault, but won 't necessarily correct a spelling mistake if you put too many or too few letters in the word. Also you have to be around 60-70% accurate with your key presses or procedure gives up. The rejection of the suggestion of automatic correction requires hitting the "tiny; x" at the conclusion of a suggestion rather than a key or a dedicated space back as in most Windows applications and this can be really difficult.  but general facilities keyboard and flowing, I must admit, are more usable keyboards on most Windows Mobile PDAs that I had.  I 'm the still not sure if I prefer recognizing handwriting with a stylus, but I can live with it.7. iPod on a phoneAlthough the interface lacks the intuitive touch of the wheel and best original iPod, the iPhone, as the iTouch, the compensation recover its interface with full-screen iPod player that the elasticity you faster and more d ' direct access to the media have stored on the device.  I prefer the iPod wheel, but admit it 's 6 and a half dozen of the other.  even if the memory of 8GB or 16GB iPhone is shared among the features of the iPod and other storage-dependent applications, yet can store over 3,000 songs which is more or less my entire CD collection.  I can also play movies and the exposure is more than enough to do so, but a typical movie takes to 2GB of storage so of course I have to "budget" for it.  considered all the iPhone good to serve the media player, especially since my BMW has an iPod interface directly integrated with iDrive, so I can access my library of music with the car 'command of the steering wheel of exposure and s navigation. The motion sensors   6. and how to landscape (a point) the iPhone is jam packed full of sensors.  sensors so it knows that neighborhood was using it as a phone.  sensors to record clear brightness.  The motion detectors are known to fluctuate around the thing (used to great effect in "Unleashed Lightsaber" – a free game demonstration on iTunes).  motion detectors are used to greatest effect in browsers of the document and safari to detect when inclined to observe the screen in landscape mode.  Documents also the side to fit on the screen legible? Just turns the device and change the orientation of the screen. Awake! The only problem is that the execution of the feature seems to be constantly on the application and is not deployed through all the applications on the device.  Mail as reading and typing does not draw benefit from the feature, for example, while email links (see below) do.5. Web browser over a phoneI 'm. not a big fan of safari that generally prefer Firefox on Mackintosh and the IE on PC. That said, the implementation of the safari on the iPhone is without doubt the best mobile browser that has seen so far.  supports CSS and Javascript and Silverlight support in the future, but currently does not support flash.  By rotating the screen in landscape mode, you can usually read most of the Web site directly on the screen of iPhone, while the "pinch" the metaphor (which has two bars on the screen and that approached separately) Zuma inside or outside allow small text or the particular purpose to be observed.  commands on the screen as moving text boxes and menus zumano inside the control that makes it easy to complete the forms browser-based. The whole experience of browsing is smooth, intuitive and engaging.4. The contribution to PDF hometown and the office documenting the formatsAs a "dyed in the wool" Users of Microsoft, this feature wowed me most almost anything else on the device.  the iPhone makes all the "standard" The Office formats (Word, Excel and Powerpoint) as a sample, without any connections.  And not just office 2003 – extending the provisions of 2007 are well supported!  The iPhone supports the rotation to see the documents in the provision of landscape, complete with zoom to pinch.  sadly you can not publish the documents of how the sample, although a number of publishers are planning to offer editors and spreadsheets of the document in future. But for 80% of the action plans of operation distance is that the device is suitable perfectly.3 me. WiFi and the iPhone original stacksThe 3G whetted the appetite for mobile computing but were soon disappointed the Europeans due to its lack of contribution to 3G. That of course is a thing of the past with the device for marking II. I was more impressed by the device 's possibility of WiFi, however.  Even if the battery consumption is less the ideal with the radio added, the stack of WiFi performs really well, especially in larger office and the offices where you move in and out of range or between points access, sometimes using different protocols on a consistent basis.  It supports a number of security protocols including WPA-2 and TKIP certificate-based and can interact with the sides Microsoft-centric security firm.  configure the device to automatically join the new network and of course once you have access to a network automatically reconnects the next time will be in the range. It works really, really well – so well that you can afford free to forget all.  Which is as it should be, frankly.2. The ease of adding the iPhone basic applicationsThe provides the basic email, calendar and puts it in contact with the administration next to the web browser safari, the camera and the iPod. Also has a aGPS and a superb Google Maps that is surprising good, even if the battery consumption with the added position of the device makes it almost unusable in my opinion. That is, the iPhone has a reasonably sensible set of mobile applications based on performance. So what to do if you need more? The answer is iTunes AppStore, an online service accessible from the iPhone that allows him to try and upload programs targeting applications that are loaded against your client of iTunes.  So far I have mainly loaded programs which articles of sample applications and free utility, which is enough to get a feel for what is out there and enjoy the installation very direct and upgrade process.  I just bought a iBlogger date of application – a generic manufacturer blogging to connect to my CMS and blog.  The process is seamless and transparent, the user 'point of view s and exactly what the user needs. The idea dell'estensibilità is good '.  This is where the intersection of computing and PDAs in the mobile phone has actually benefited consumers.  But so consumers will benefit fully there must be sufficient choice. So far Apple has been successf
