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

… use the voice control app (on newer 3GS 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

… get the iPhone 3GS or later – the previous devices were not fully baked

… spend some time getting a few cool Apps that HELP YOU to actually get something done and avoid the time wasting apps 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.

… try not to drop your iPhone (get a case if it is too slippery for you)

… don’t spill liquids onto it 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 those regarding cats)

… remember to sync with your Mac or PC 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 60,000+ 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).
