We bought our new iPhones days before leaving for a 2 week Fl vacation. I had bought this book prior to getting the phones so we could learn all about our phones while on vacation.

I tried in vain to figure out how to send emails with a comcast account and it just wouldn't work. Picked up the book which told me to change the port and voila! There is nooooo way I could have figured that out since I didn't have a computer with me and wouldn't have been able to go online to read the forums.

This book has been great for us. We read the first few chapters and then used the book only when we got stuck.

I will say that it offers a great way to save on battery life! While not using 3G I turn it off and it is amazing how much the battery life is exttended.

It is a wonderful resource and set up in such a way that you don't have to read the entire book to be able to get setup and running with your new iPhone.

It's a must for every iPhone owner!

If you are already a wizard at using the iPhoen then you may find this book rather primitive. However, if you are like me and find there are far r too many buttons on that i Phone then you more than likely will find this book very useful. We have purchased two since the i Phone came out. Make sure you are ordering the latest edition. Once you glance through this book you will soon get the hang to using many features on the i Phone.

I've learned so much from this book I don't know where to start so I won't bother. All I can say is, if you own an iPhone you must get this book. Hope he does an update for the 3Gs. I'm sure there's lots of new and hidden features I don't know about.
