The iPhone as a phone and digital camera/ camcoder

On the phone side, the iPhone synchronizes with the contacts and calenders on your Mac or PC, It includes a full-featured QWERTY soft, or virtual, keyboard, which makes typing text easier than ever before - for some folks.

Granted, the virtual keyboard takes a bit of time to get used to. But we think that many of you eventually will be whizzing along at a much faster pace than you thought possible on a mobile keyboard of this type.

The 2-megapixel(iPhone and iPhone 3G) or 3-megapixel (iPhone 3GS) digital camera is accompanied by a decent photo management application, so taking and managing digital photos (and videos on iPhone 3GS) is a pleasure rather than the nightmare it can be on other phones. Plus, you can automatically synchronize iPhone photos and videos with the digital photo library on your Mac or PC. Okey, we still wish the iPhone camera took better photos and shot better videos but it is still much better than most other phone cameras.

Finally, one of our favorite phone accoutrements is visual voicemail (Try saying that three times fast.) This feature lets you see a list of voicemail messages and choose which one to listen to or delete without being forced to deal with every message in your voice mailbox in sequential order. Now, that's handy!
