When you buy the iPhone you know you're getting so much more than just a way to make and receive calls. With an iPhone it is like having a computer in the palm of your hand, where you can browse the internet, send and receive emails, stay on track with GPS functions, and of course carry your favourite music and videos with you for easy listening.

In addition to the built in features you are getting with your iPhone, you'll also be able to load a variety of third party apps, which you can buy from the App Store. These apps can turn your iPhone into a library, an education centre or a games console. That is where you can be guided through the basic features of the iPhone so you can start using your new toy right away.
