Well, for what it's worth, I just got back from Europe after two
months and my iPhone worked like a charm. I was able to make phone
calls to all Countries (except Japan) without even needing to know the
Country Code since the iPhone does that for you. The Safari Browser
worked like a mini laptop. I was able to receive and send emails
together with attachments, go to web sites, text and use my calendar.
The world clock allowed me to know the time changes throughout the
world when contacting people, I was able to keep track of my stock
portfolio and know the world markets. The weather feature was
fantastic AND accurate. The Google Map site is totally awesome. It
not only provided directions but also helped me select restaurants in
every City I was in. I didn't have an iPod previously so this was a
nice feature for me. The camera was something I thought I would not
use but actually helped business wise in sending pictures of co-
workers back to the office so they could associate a face with whom
they were working with and it was Apple made it so simple to add the
pictures as a email attachment.
I can't say enough about the iPhone. It's not a gaget, but a business
tool that really works! Hope you can wait to get one in Europe.
