Should I buy the iPhone? PROS
• The iPhone is small but substantial piece of hardware, superbly styled and ergonomically pleasing.
• The iPhone has a large display (480 x 320 px) compared to other phones and hand held devices, with excellent definition provided by the 160dpi resolution screen.
• The iPhone, when tilted through 90 degrees, has widescreen facility.
• The iPhone's touch screen navigation and vitual keyboard provides flexibility.
• The iPhone allows you to access your email on the move. The large display allows you to view your emails formatted as they would appear on your computer screen and the iPhone will display most common attachment formats.
• The experience of surfing the internet on an iPhone is similar to surfing the internet on a conventional computer browser because the large display allows you to view entire web pages, and you can zoom in on particular areas of the page to view small text.
