The iPhone is the true eye-candy of communication right now. The housing is sleek and definitely different than anything out there. Pull out the iPhone and everyone knows what it is right away. But is it really the “must have” gadget that the all the hype has made it out to be?

The iPhone offers a choice of two models based on storage of 16GB or 8GB. There’s also the smaller 4GB option, but it seems the availability of that one is limited.. Basically, if you’re not really worried about carrying around all the songs in the whole world or a ton of data on your phone, it’s safe to go with the smaller 8GB option. At round $500 to $600, this is the phone you don’t leave sitting on the table or counter while placing your latte order at Starbucks. It definitely tops the list of most expensive cell phones for the year. However, the iPhone is more than a phone. It’s a cell phone, camera, iPod, and web access all rolled into one.

If it’s available online, it’s available from your iPhone in the blink of an eye. The iPhone has fully Internet capability. With the touch of your finger, you can read and answer email, check your Google calendar, bid on eBay, or update your Facebook page. Having internet access literally in your pocket is sure to battle off boredom if nothing else.

It’s also top of the line when it comes to having a camera built into your phone. Camera phone fanatics find that the photos taken by the iPhone are as good as those from a high-priced digital camera. Even in poor light, the iPhone’s camera adjusts so that the photo looks great. In addition to taking great pics, you can also transmit iPhone photos to your computer or send them directly to a photo lab for printing. Can your camera phone do all that?

It is the definition of easy to use. It will automatically sync all your contacts from your PC, Mac, or Internet service for you, saving you the time of loading all the information into your new phone manually. There are also plenty of apps you can add to your iPhone for even more functionality.

If the iPhone is half as fantastic as the marketing that introduced it, then this really is THE phone to own. With so many cell phone options available for so many brands, the iPhone kicked the competition and continues to deliver on its hype.
