Here are a few tips from an iPhone developer to help make your experience more enjoyable.

… use the voice control app (on newer iPhones) for hands free operation of a few features including dialing (if you have an older iPhone, try Melodis Dialer instead)

… use the headset and double-click the headset clicker to redial

… spend some time finding a few cool Apps that HELP YOU to actually get something done and avoid the time wasters that distract you from your goals

… try turning the iPhone sideways to type an email or text message – the keypad expands to fit the width of the screen and can be a better experience for those of use with larger fingertips.

… buy a case for your iPhone (you won’t regret it)

… don’t spill liquids onto the device and don’t drop it into a liquid unless you wish to buy a new one

… don’t put it into the microwave (same basic warning as the labels attached to cat collars these days)

… remember to sync with your computer at least every week to get the full benefit of updates, backups and synchronization with the rest of your life.

The iPhone is basically a powerful little computer that also handles rudimentary telephony tasks so with 200,000+ Apps in the Apple iTunes App Store, you are sure to find something to make you feel better for about the cost of a cup of coffee (often less).
