The iPhone in widescreen mode
ideal for watching films or surfing the internet
Size
The iPhone is small; about 2.4 inches wide and 4.5 inches high, and about half an inch thick. And yet, desite its small size the iPhone feels satisfyingly substantial as it weighs a respectable amount for its size.
iPhone Screen
Its display is large, with an excellent 160dpi (dots per inch) screen resolution, which renders images and text with a suberb clarity. The screen has been built to withstand drops and scratches, as has the textured silver casing. On the downside, one drawback with our model was that the screen picked up finger prints and greasy marks all too easily.
iPhone Navigation
There is no cursor or joystick with the iPhone. Instead you utilise your finger to drag and tap and click your way around to navigate. The virtual keyboard took some getting used to, even for an experienced blackberry thumb typist. However the numerous mistakes are more often than not tidied by the intuative auto correct function that improves as it adapts to your use of language.
