Everyone people who are sufficiently fortunate to already have an iPhone know how much fun they can be simply to mess around with. Playing with my iPhone a lot myself, I have discovered some cool tricks that you may find handy.

1. If you tap once at the top of the screen when you're online, it'll take you back to the apex of the window instead of having to scroll all the way back up. A pleasant ergonomic feature.

2. If you set the font to the tiniest size, you can read more in the web window. A benefit of this is that when you wish to click a link, you can pinch (expand) that area and the link will come up very large, making it much easier to click.

3. Instead of posting the full address of Internet sites in bookmarks, you can post the equivalent RSS address instead into Apple's RSS reader and save that as your bookmark. This way you can speedily see if there's anything fascinating on your fave site rather than downloading the whole home page.

4. If you are writing something and the iPhone flags a word as misspelled that you know is not misspelled, cancel the correction 3 times and the word will be put into the dictionary. If you write quite a lot , this feature is reasonably useful!

5. The magnifying glass is a nice iPhone tool when you are typing an email or any other text. If you tap once and hold, a magnifying glass will pop up showing you a zoomed in view of your words and cursor. You are now able to simply place the cursor wherever you would like. This makes editing your writing really easy.

6. You can move icons around, but not on the home screen. You have to go to the ipod section. Go to iPod gt; More gt; Edit. Now you can drag your icons all around. This may also be done in the telephone section.

7. To reset your iphone, hold down the right button and the "home" front button for approximately 6 seconds. To power it back on, push the top button. This is different than a regular shutdown, which can on occasion be done simply by holding the sleep/wake button for 6 seconds.

8. If you get a large amount of spam email or other unwished-for e-mail, be aware of this time saving feature. Add a link to Yahoo mail in Safari bookmarks. From there you can check 'delete all ' to get rid of all unwanted emails. This is way easier than deleting lots of spam emails one at a time.
