Advantages: It does nearly everything!

Disadvantages: There are so many applications you could grow old looking at them!

The Apple iPhone is perfect for people who are organisation freaks! In the past I have had several phones which were PDA, synchronisation-capable, and supposedly top of the line. Yes, they did *indeed* make sure that the sychronisation ensured that the rubbish was always on both ends, as it was never cleaned up. Emails were here and there, contacts doubled..... Ok, this review is not about what the others did badly - but maybe we need to be reminded of what we actually WANT...........because the iPhone does it all! And if it doesn't, the next one will!

The phone is super. It has all the options, quality and meets the expectations of a phone system - logging, missed calls, etc.

The calendar is almost like an outlook calendar - alarms, varied views (list during day, day, month, year), repeating events.

texting....super - lists the texts as conversations so all is in context.

ipod - not much to say about that really - everyone knows the itouch standard.

The ability to keep your inboxes cleared of rubbish email in the time you are waiting for an appoinment is absolutely a godsend! It saves hours of wading through a hundred at a time - all in the space of waiting in a queue!

but....the applications! THAT is the brilliance of it and the saviour of we disorganised souls who over-organise! There are shopping lists, to do lists, routine lists, the Sky+ listings with "set to record" capability! There are wacky applications, like the fart alarm which goes off if someone touches it (definately a guy thing), equivalents for conversions, and just about everything you can think of.

It is such a timesaver - unless, of course, you spend all your time looking at the applications that go with it! :-)

Summary: An extremely useful piece of kit for someone who has a little bit of everything going on at once!
