Want an iPhone on Orange? Want to know more about the iPhone on Orange before you actually decide to buy one? Well then this could be the most important web page you read before you actually commit yourself.

So, why should you decide that the iPhone 3GS is the one for you? Well, to start with the iPhone is not just a phone, it’s 3 devices wrapped up into one. Of course, it is a phone, but it is also a widescreen iPod and a fantastic little Internet device as well.

A mobile phone – The interface is known as the Multi-Touch interface which enables you to make a call by simply tapping the name or number of the person you wish to talk to from within your contacts or from your favourites list or your call log. In fact, anywhere you see a name or number; you can make a call quickly and easily. There is also a different approach to voicemail. The idea is to make it more like email, and so it has been made visual on the iPhone on Orange. This enables you to choose which messages to listen to and in which order.
The contacts area of your iPhone is not just a bunch of names and numbers. If you want to get directions to get you to one of your contacts, just tap their address and the Maps application is launched for you giving you the directions you need to save you from getting lost. You can also add an image to each contact so every time people that you know call you, you will see their picture on your handset. You can scroll through your contacts with a quick flick of your finger, or use the search facility to find someone’s name fast.
Each time you connect your iPhone to your PC or Mac and launch iTunes, you can sync your contacts so you always have the same information on both devices. If you would like to keep all your information up to date without having to do this, then you can sign up for a MobileMe account and synchronise wirelessly and automatically.
The iPhone also gives you the ability to talk to up to five callers at once by creating an instant conference call, very handy for planning a night out on the town!
Not happy with the ringtones on your iPhone from Orange? That’s fine, just download a new one directly to your handset from your iTunes account. You can even set a different ringtone for each of your contacts so you will know who is calling you before you even take your iPhone out of your pocket!

An iPod in Widescreen – You can really show off your content with the stunning 3.5 inch display on your iPhone on Orange. We are talking music, TV programmes, films, photo’s and more. Music and video can also be added to your collection by wirelessly downloading from the iTunes store. By using just the touch of your finger, you can scroll through playlists and songs, and even use the Cover Flow to browse your album artwork.
Want to play your songs in a random order? Just shake the iPhone and you’re done, all your songs in the chosen playlist are shuffled for you. If someone calls you while you are listening to your favourite track, then the music is put on pause for you until you are done, and answering the call is simple, just press the button on your headset microphone.
Do you use the Genie feature in iTunes? Well you can on the iPhone from Orange as well. Genius will make a playlist for you based on what’s in your music library. You can turn the feature on easily by using voice control. Just say “play more songs like this” and Genie will do the rest for you! If your not even sure which song to start off with, then just choose Genius Mixes and the iPhone will choose for you.

Internet – Because the iPhone on Orange uses super fast 3G and Wi-Fi Internet connections, it is able to deliver rich HTML email, maps with GPS, and includes Safari which is the most advanced web browser available on a mobile handset. It has Yahoo! and Google search engines built in and because it has the ability to multitask, you can surf the web or email a friend whilst you are on a phone call thanks to the 3G and Wi-Fi connection options.
Safari allows you to see the real web, you don’t have to settle for a stripped down version made just for mobile phones. The iPhone from Orange will connect you to which ever network it has access to that is the fastest whether it be EDGE, 3G or a Wi-Fi network. If you want to take a closer look at something you have seen on a website, just double tap with your finger and the iPhone will zoom in for you. Turn the iPhone by 90 degrees, and the web page will turn with you allowing you to view in either portrait or landscape mode for a better viewing experience.
Your favourite site can also be accessed quickly and easily. You can ask the iPhone to create a home screen icon for your favourite sites. You favourites are also synchronised with your PC or Mac when you connect them together.

So you can see that the iPhone on Orange really does make life simple for you. Gone are the days when you search around comparing devices only to find that one does most things you want it to and another does the things the first one was missing but is still not giving you everything because it doesn’t do everything the first one does (if you can follow that!). The iPhone3GS gives you everything you want and all in one neat device. I really could go on for hours talking about how good this phone is, but you won’t really appreciate it until you have one of your own. So my recommendation is not to hesitate, and go and get your iPhone on Orange today!

Here is a video tour of the new iPhone 3GS for you

I don’t know about you, but I often find it useful to be able to take the odd photo while I’m out and about. The thing is I don’t want to have to carry a separate phone and digital camera all the time. Many phones that already have a camera built in are just not that good. This isn’t the case though for the iPhone 3GS. With a 3 Megapixel camera that has autofocus and an application for photos that makes sharing your shots simple, this has got to be the ideal phone for taking photos whenever a worthwhile opportunity arises.

Cameras in general are not that difficult to use these days, so you would expect your iPhone on Orange to have a camera that is also easy to use. Well, it does. All you have to do is point the iPhone in the general direction of the event you want to snap, and then tap the screen to take the shot. Your pictures are then added the iPhone Camera Roll for easy access. As with so many of the other iPhone applications, if you rotate the iPhone by 90 degrees, then you can enjoy your images in landscape mode. Just pinch with your fingers, or double tap an image and you can zoom in or out. Like the picture you have taken so much that it is worthy of being your phones wallpaper? You can easily do that too! One of the best bits about this camera that you don’t get with others is the geotagging of your photos. Yes, that’s right, when you come back to view your images at a later date, the iPhone 3GS can give you details of where they were taken. How cool is that!?

The camera does have autofocus, but if you find that it is focusing on something other than what you want to take a picture of, then you can tap the area you want to be in focus and the iPhone will do the rest for you. It also has a macro lens for taking close up pictures.

If you want to share any of your photos with other people, then select the image and the iPhone 3GS will open a blank email template with the image already attached, you just need to add the recipients details and any notes, then tap to send. If you didn’t want to email it, then you can also send via MMS. The other option you have is to upload the images to your MobileMe Gallery and your family and friends can view and download them from there.

When you synchronise your iPhone with iTunes, the images will be synchronised with Adobe Photoshop Elements and Adobe Photoshop Album if you use a PC, or in iPhoto if you use a Mac. Also, any photos on your computer will be synchronised to your iPhone so you can view them and share them wherever you are.

Here is a short video to demo the camera on the iPhone

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you just wish you had an easy way to take a little bit of video on the hop? You know, you’re out and about and something happens that would be better caught on video than with a still image? And you don’t just want to record a bit of video, you want to post it on the net or send it to your friends and family by email. Well, guess what, the iPhone on Orange can help you out.

Shooting, or recording video on your iPhone 3GS is very simple, just like anything else you want to do on the iPhone 3GS. You are able to capture your video, then edit it to make it just the length you want. Once you are happy with it you can share it with people in any number of ways. The camera on the iPhone records in VGA mode at 30 frames per second which makes it the ideal type of video for uploading to the Internet or sending in an email. You can also take your video in portrait mode, or in landscape for a widescreen video.

Your mini movie is ready to edit immediately, you don’t have to wait until you get back home or to the office. You simply drag with your finger to edit your footage there and then on your iPhone 3GS.

So, here’s the situation. You are out and about and you happen to see something that is worth catching on video that you want to share with someone. Just tap on the camera icon from within the messages application and shoot your footage. Once complete, you can now use your iPhone on the Orange network to send it via MMS. Be sure though to understand any restrictions on the length of the clip before trying to send it. Your other option is to select video from within the Camera application and shoot your video from there. The iPhone 3GS will then automatically add it to a new email message for you ready for you to send. You can also upload your movie clip to You Tube or a MobileMe Gallery with just a few taps of your finger. Then, when you synchronise your iPhone on Orange with your iTunes, all the video you have taken will be backed up on to your PC or Mac.
