iPhone Part III - Features and Connectivity


There’s a completely separate button just for the calculator. I’m thinking this is just some sort of space filler to make the menu screen look evenly spaced with icons. But on the plus side, the calculator is extremely easy to use considering the touch screen interface. The keys are large and clear. So no issues here. The notes function is quite simple to use of course, though, like I mentioned in Part 1, I’m not lot less than thrilled to use the onscreen keyboard. It simply takes too much time to type out a message. The keys are too closely spaced and even though they are large and clear. It makes it quite difficult to use if you don’t have slim fingers. But if you give it enough time it’s possible to get a bit used to the frustration.

There really isn’t too much I can say about the settings except that it's easy to navigate most of the screens within the sub menu easily enough.

The phone function, much like the calculator is easy to use as the keys are quite large. Unlike the Windows Mobile on screen keypad this one is much better. That could also be attributed once again to the iPhone’s large screen. You can also access the other options like the phone Log (for missed calls and made/received calls) and Voice mail etc. The Phone Book can also be accessed from the phone menu. It has plenty of options for storing all kinds of information from the person’s home number to his website address. You can also take a picture and store it directly into the contacts information and the person’s information will pop up when a call comes in.
