iPhone: The Missing Manual

Clearly-written, well-indexed, and full of information, this book saved me a lot of time and mental anguish when dealing with a newly-purchased iPhone. Highly recommended.

The iPhone is pretty easy to figure out right out of the box but this book just puts the icing on the cake. There are "finesses" for different modes that just make the phone a lot more useful & allow you to get the most out of it. Like Pogue's other "Missing Manual" books, it is a superb reference book.

Great book, took it on the plane and read it from over to cover. Tons of terrific helps/hints for the IPhone. I've been recommending it to everyone that has an IPhone. It's a must have manual. Easy to read, easy to understand.

David Pogue's independant manual for the iPhone is, quite simply, a book you have to read if you have an iPhone - or are thinking of getting one. When you invest in an iPhone, one of the first things you'll notice as you open the box is the absence of a conventional instruction manual - especially after the ever-increasingly thick tomes supplied with Nokia et al. So whereas the iPhone is extremely user-friendly, it's accompanying leaflet is derisory if you really want to get the best from Apple's baby. In an easy-to-read and logical layout, the "Missing Manual" addresses all the questions you're ever likely to raise about iPhones and answers them.
Now all we need is a Volume Two to do the same for the Version Two, 3G iPhone when it is (finally) released - and if Mr. Apple is reading this in Apple valley, US of A, please send me a 3G, V2 iPhone as soon as you can - after you've sent one to Mt. Pogue!

I found many things in the book that I would not have found on my own. Very useful.
