My first experience with the iPhone was amazing. For a PDA (as most personal digital assistants) are known, I found it to be extremely user friendly. It's a touch screen phone that has a very sensitive screen. You can make the fonts bigger or smaller by simply using your thumb and forefinger to stretch or minimize the screen. For those who have used other PDAs this is really cool. The full web browser gives you the mini computer experience. For those who have had several voice messages and wished they could get to a particular one, the Iphone has the answer. Visual voice mail allows one to scroll up and down on the voice messages and choose the ones to listen to. This has been an invaluable feature to many a busy customer.

I could go on forever about the iPhone. Text messaging on the Iphone is great. One can see conversations on both sent and received messages.

I can just imagine how much better the 3g Iphone is going to be. For those who are intimidated by PDA phones but would like to access the Internet on their phones, this is definitely the toy for them. The full QWERTY key board pops up when the field one intends to type in is touched. The Iphone has WIFI integrated which is an awesome feature to ensure Internet access anywhere AT&T has service.

Verizon wirelees has come up with an LG Voyager that has the touch screen functionality. It has both the interactive touch screen and a full Qwerty key board. At first glance you'd think you were looking at an Iphone except that this particular device is carried exclusively on the Verizon network.It features music, TV and video plus a full
