Customer Reviews

Exclusively for new iPhone 3GS users: the 'missing' manual
The iPhone 3GS has no manual, but this book makes up for it. This book is suitable for an inexperienced iPhone user. A more experienced iPhone user will not read any new things, except for a few new features on the iPhone 3GS. In this book is based on the iPhone 3GS with software version 3.0. If you have another type iPhone you will notice that a lot of features do not apply to you. If you are looking for information about 'unlocking' or 'jailbreaking' you will not find any information either.
Still, as an inexperienced user of iPhone 3GS, I am very happy with this 'missing' manual and I am sure that this book will be appreciated by other new iPhone 3GS users.

A must have for every iPhone owner
I found this book very useful to try and ensure that I get the most out of my iPhone. Worth getting.
