iPhone: The Missing Manual: Covers the iPhone 3G (Missing Manual)
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-09-22 Summary: Review of ... iPhone: The Missing Manual is somewhat misnamed. Apple does have a manual for the iPhone. It is a 152-page PDF [...] The Apple User Guide definitely does not replace David Pogue's Missing Manual, not by a long shot. I can't read a page of the Pogue book without learning two new things. I can't read a page of the Apple manual without going cross-eyed. As usual David Pogue is entertaining and informative. His is an excellent book. ...more

Thank heavens for people like David Pogue who has finally written a manual that is useful, entertaining and should have been in the box with the iPhone! You are going to learn so much about your iPhone that if you don't buy this book ...more

[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-08-25 Summary: Finally... A genius to hold your hand ... I am a self-confessed Apple lover and part-time geek.

As an architecture, the iPhone is particularly clever - you can update it when Apple release updates, which means that your phone might have more functionality ...more
