I won’t kid you: You have a slight learning curve ahead of you if you’re coming from a more basic cellphone (but if you own another smartphone, you’ve got a head start). For example, your previous phone might not have had a Multi-Touch screen and onscreen keyboard.

The good news is that getting anything done on the iPhone is simple, when you know the ropes. In fact, using your fingers to do things is a very intuitive way to communicate with your computing device, which is just what iPhone is.

In this chapter, you turn on your iPhone, register it, and then take your first look at the Home screen. You also practice using the onscreen keyboard, see how to interact with the touchscreen in various ways, get pointers on working with cameras, and get an overview of built-in applications (apps).

Although the iPhone’s screen has been treated to repel oils, you’re about to deposit a ton of fingerprints on your iPhone – one downside of a touchscreen device. A soft cloth, like the one you might use to clean your eyeglasses, is usually all you’ll need to clean things up, though.
