Customer Reviews

The best of the bunch ...
To put it simply I have just spent quite a long time in a book store checking out all of the iPhone guide books ... and this is the one I have decided to buy. Its the easiest to follow with pictures and annotations to guide you through each step, it seemed to cover each function in the most detail, and didn't waste pages and pages on what I considered to be pointless subjects (like it just has 4 pages for accessories, not 15 like one of the others). It also has great 'tips/hints' highlighted notes on almost every page which give you great shortcuts/ideas which are invaluable. The only downside is that this book isn't as small (i.e. easy to carry in a handbag) as the others like The Rough Guide but I decided it was worth giving this up.

The best book on the Apple for 2 & 3 G
Contrary to the title of this excellent book, there IS a manual on line for the Iphone in .pdf form to download, but if you want the best book on this marvellous innovation from Apple then this is it!
Don't expect to find anything about unlocking or jailbraking the iphone though! It is just a basic grand tour of the iphone both for 2G and 3g versions plus some good tips about battery care and how to handle the iphone's programme bundle generally.
Be sure however to get Edition 2 of the book as it has extra sections that the first edition didn't have which are very useful.

iPhone UK The Missing Manual
An excellent book. Well written and easy to follow. All iPhones should come with one!
