Useful information, well written. You are obviously a fan of the iPhone! I am curious to know about your thoughts on the new touchscreen Storm, for comparison. You mention a download limit of 10 megabytes. Are there applications larger than 10 megabytes? Do you overcome this limit by using iTunes? I think the greatest benefit of your article is in helping people overcome their fear of transitioning to this new technology, and in this respect you achieved your goal!

Personally, I think it was great, and seemed very helpful too. I do not have an iPhone though, but it might take some time to get one because where I live they coast a lot. I never knew how responsible it is to pick everything you need for the iPhone, seems like alot of work, but i suppose it’s worth it. Nice work, keep it up!

Thank you Amanda for a very informative article on the iPhone. I didn’t realize how many applications are available or the different options for cases. Most of all, how easy it seems to be to get started. I’ve been contemplating (with a little help from a couple of girls I know) to make the switch to a touchscreen/smartphone, but wasn’t sure which one to choose. Thank you for making the choice clear!

Amanda’s well-written and well-researched article has convinced me to upgrade to an iPhone. I had been skittish about taking this step because I don’t always find it easy to adapt to new technologies. However, Amanda’s detailed report has given me the courage to make the change. She explained the various iPhone applications in interesting and lucid terms. She made the whole iPhone experience seem like fun, i.e. filming yourself opening the iPhone box in order to share that moment with friends. I’ll be on my way to buy an iPhone this afternoon.

Excellent suggestions, particularly the idea of using You Tube for more information. Good advice for the the older generation iphone user.

Amanda’s article is very informative and should be read by anyone that is considering getting an Iphone. I really liked how she mentioned her favorite applications, but I wish she included a little bit more about the applications (like Pros/Cons). Amanda’s article will definitely be helpful to anyone that is going to buy an iphone.

Amanda, this is a VERY informative article on what to do when you first get an iPhone! I wish I would have seen this sooner for my friend who was just SOOO clueless about her new iPhone! I specifically LOVE your app suggestions. Somewhere out there, you will help somebody who is TOTALLY clueless about their iPhone, and will hopefully look at this page. AWESOME JOB AMANDA!

BTW, Have Super Monkey Ball… and LOVIN’ IT! I would suggest iBowl as well… such an awesome game :)

I found Amanda’s article on transitioning to the iphone very informative. I have been pondering weather I should make the “leap” myself. As I am not very technologicaly advanced, I thought the iphone may be too complicated for me. I found the portions realating to applications and cases very helpful. I think I just may buy my first iphone. Amanda, I hope you are available for private tutoring!

Spectacular Entry. This was very well written, and I went through the same processes with the transition to my iPhone. I especially loved the part when you mentioned cases. It really was a hard decision for me choosing between safety and looks. I will have to check out those applications for my iPhone. Great Article and Good Luck!

Your article answered many of the questions and/or concerns I have prior to finalizing my decision on which phone to acquire (Iphone or bold).

Thanks for your efforts

This was a very informative article about the iphone. I am looking for a new phone and have been considering this phone. After reading the article, I am convinced this is the one for me. I like how you can download music and photos with ease. I also like all of the other applications and how user friendly it seems to be. Thanks Amanda!

Amanda makes the description of buying and configuring the iPhone sound fun and easy. The manufacturers themselves would do well to take a cue from her writing style.

Many people are intimidated by the idea of a smart-phone, and perception of how to maximize one as sophisticated as the iPhone, especially if they’ve never used one before. Amanda shows how user-friendly and fun it can be, and gives a step-by-step on how one should approach it, from opening it, protecting it, configuring it, and finally, customizing it with the vast library of apps available from iTunes and the Apple store.

I enjoyed the article greatly, and thought the flow and content was helpful, and simultaneously brief and to the point. This would encourage me to lean to the iPhone if i found myself on the fence with other makes.

Nice work Amanda, I hope to see more of your writing on the internet!
