Im only asking this because my friend got an ipod touch and now he has an application for it that lats you use it as a phone(call/texting). and im pretty sure you can put music on your iphone. So, now whats the difference for buying one of them and not the other? can name applications they have and service they get.

I don’t have ATT&T and i wanted an iphone, but getting one would be expensive. But i really love the apps and software. Then i realized the ipod touch is almost exactly the same! What are the specific differences between them? is the price the same?

I just got an iphone and wanted to take the songs from my dads ipod, transfer them to my itunes and then finaly to my iphone. Is that possible?

When we talk about the world’s best phones, the iPhone is the first name that comes to our mind. It is surely one of the classiest phones available in the market today and its owners consider it to be a style statement. This high quality phone is an Internet and multimedia enabled Smartphone designed and marketed by Apple Inc. If there is any function that can be performed by any other mobile phone, the iPhone can do it too. It functions as a camera phone (also including text messaging and visual voicemail), a portable media player (equivalent to a video iPod), and an Internet client (with email, web browsing, and Wi-Fi connectivity) — using the phone’s multi-touch screen to render a virtual keyboard instead of a physical keyboard.

But like other phones that function at the cutting edge of technology, the iPhone too has come under the scanner because it is a phone that is susceptible to a large number of technical issues and problems that become an obstacle to its proper functioning. The standard course of action that will be adopted by the maximum number of people who own iPhones would be to go to an authorized Apple service center and get iPhone 3G S replacement parts at a hefty cost or get iPhone spares in UK’s premium mobile stores. The amount of money spent in repairing your phone will be astronomically high at the authorized service center or the premium mobile store which will burn a huge hole in your pocket.

A large number of iPhone 3G S spares in UK are available. This includes LCD screen displays complete assemblies with touch screen digitizer panel, communications board, frame assembly including the sync / charge connector, home button, head phone socket, microphone and speaker, head phone jack socket includes headphone jack socket, vibrator, power on off switch, volume controls and silent ring switch, new batteries, outer shell cases including front case bezel, rear iphone case, iphone antenna cover and iphone SIM tray, camera and internal antenna. Everyone in the mobile industry knows that repairing an iPhone is perhaps the hardest thing to do with the phone and this is not due to the lack of availability of iPhone 3G S spares in the UK.

The iPhone is manufactured in Apple’s certified factories and every one of them is a result of pin point precision and marvellous engineering. There is an alternate solution to this problem which may stand you in good stead in the long run. This solution is to procure iPhone 3G S replacement parts or a brand new iPhone 3G S spares in UK from highly credible places other than the authorized service center and get your phone repaired too. This solution will save you a lot of money and rest assured that there will be no compromises made with the quality of your precious iPhone.

Internet access is available when the iPhone is connected to a local area Wi-Fi or a wide area GSM or EDGE network.
