Things to do before you buy an iphone

Posted on December 10, 2007 by prasanth

If you are going to buy an iphone read this before you do. This will help you use your iphone to the fullest.

First of all get GPRS activated on your Sim card. Iphone has a super browser and almost all the things on iphone need GPRS. Like the stock, weather etc. Also try to get the unlimited package because you will be using it a lot.

If you have a computer then try to find a way to sync your contacts etc with outlook. Once you get iphone it will sync all the details available in outlook to your iphone.

You can sync your mobile contacts with outlook and also save them on google in multiple ways do it with plaxo, funambol or even with ScheduleWorld and get ready.

Download itunes and put all your music on it and organise it the way you like. Don’t for get to put album covers. Since most of the songs from india don’t have way to get album covers in itunes you can add them manually. By cliking on each song and selecting get info then just drag the picture you want as your ablum cover into the artwork window and click okay and itunes save that photo as your mp3 files art work or album cover.

If you do this when you browse the mp3 on iphone with coverflow it will look cool.and will be helpful in getting to the song you want quickly.

Also convert all your videos into mp4 format because iphone only plays mp4 format. There are plenty of software that do free video conversion to mp4.

If you get all these things in place you will have an easy transistion to iphone.

10 Reason why you should get an iphone in India

Posted on December 10, 2007 by prasanth

iphone 1. It is the best damn cool phone out there that you can buy for that price. You can buy something with more specs but it will not get you this kind of fun, wonder and looks from others.

2. The interface is the coolest I have used on any mobile device. After watching the demo i thought i will get tired of it after a while. But believe me it has such super response that you will never get tired of it. The best touch screen interface ever.

3. The camera even though its just 2 mega pixel I think it takes the best photos on any mobile device. The color and the quality of the photos are really nice. Who need a crappy 5 mega pixel camera when you can have a such a nice 2 mega pixel camera.

4. You can check all your email even with images and html. You get free imap access to all your yahoo mail. So far I have set 6 different email 3 yahoo, 2 gmail and 1 pop and its so easy to use mail.

5. Browsing, I never knew my mobile connection was this fast and I could browse website so easily. The best browsing on any mobile device period. When normal sites load faster than the mobile formatted sites its saying something.

6. Storage Space thats right it has 8gb, that plenty of space from my last phone which was 1gb. I can take all my music, videos etc with me now.

7. E-book reader, you need to jailbreak it to install third party apps and you can add PDF reader and ebook reader and use it for that.

8. The battery life of iphone, apple’s claim is 24 hours audio and 2 hours of video. My player seems to be so good that I rarely think of recharging.

9. The synching with itunes is so easy that you wonder how you ever synced other devices.

10. All in all such a neat package in such cool and small form that you have to get one. I don’t care if you have to do some part time work go get one.

Watch out for my detailed review in a few days time.
