A lot are going crazy about iPhones, one of the newest Apple products launched in the market. Perhaps you’re one of them. But do you know how to work your way through an iPhone?

Let’s start from the basics. The iPhone is famous for its megasize screen display, which allows you to view messages, pictures, and videos vividly. It has a resolution of 320×480 pixels. It’s a Quad-band phone, and is equipped with WiFi and EDGE technology, courtesy of its exclusive carrier Cingular Wireless. Moreover, it’s Bluetooth ready, so you can flash that wireless headset.

One controversy hounding it is the battery life. You’re only given 8 hours of talk time, with a standby period of 250 hours. With its Internet, you can surf for 6 hours and watch videos for 7 hours. Audio playback, however, is close to round the clock.

Aside from its display screen, the iPhone is also famous with its touch screen technology. It doesn’t boast of any stylus but relies on human fingers–literally. With a slight motion and a touch, you can create varied displays and allow the phone to perform varying functions.

Voice messaging is made simpler and more convenient in an iPhone. It follows the same pattern as electronic mails. Instead of having to listen to all voice mails, you get to select those that will somehow matter to you or invoke urgency. You don’t practically waste time on anything. There’s also relative ease provided by its virtual keyboard. Its basically QWERTY type so you can check out any misspellings in sending your text messages. Apple also incorporated the Safari Web browser, which gives you the luxury of viewing Web pages the way they are. This is because you can resize them to fit into your screen.

Iphone is like an iPod. You can play and store music, videos, TV shows, and movies. You just have to take note of the audio and video formats an iPhone supports. You can also find a variety of entertainment sources. For one, you can depend on P2P file sharing programs, though this may be risky as they are prone to contain adware, spyware, and viruses. Second, you can download videos and music from iTunes Store for a very minimal fee: $0.99 for every song and $9.99 for every movie. However, since iPhones don’t have download capabilities, you need to store these files first in your hard drive and upload them into the phone. Should they not be in the proper format, you can find some great and effective audio and video converters online.

Indeed, there are a lot of things that you don’t know about iPhones. But then again, mystery drives people to them.
