Just ordered one yesterday and I will get it on Monday. Do instructions come with it? Is it hard to operate and to learn how to use it?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

There are no instructions included. It's pretty easy to use right out of the box.

I don't know how close you are to an Apple store or another phone store that carries iPhones, but you might want to look at the phone in person and have someone explain the functions.

There is a lot of information online about how to use them too.

It's an easy phone to use, I don't recall if there is directions on how to use it though... You can find tutorials on youtube though!! Did you know that there are more computing power in that phone than what they used to go to the moon?! Crazy isn't it!

One bit of advice: get a good case for your phone.

The Apple folks are very helpful.

I've also found that when I have a question about how to do something, just googling brings the answer.

I love my iphone and I know you will too!

MOST DEFINITELY! The phone is very slick and shiny - easy to lose your grip. A good case will provide protection in the event that you might accidentally drop it!

If you want to learn your phone, go to youtube! There are many many "how to use your iphone" videos that will definitely help you learn your phone. Make sure you search for the model you have, as there are helpful videos for every model.

Those videos helped me a lot, and I still occasionally go over there to check out features I'm not familiar with.

You're going to love your phone. GOOD LUCK!

sunala - you are so right!! That was a great suggestion.

I've gone to youtube for help with so many different things - from electronics to applying makeup to using a software program!

Some videos are long and boring, but one can usually find some good "how to" videos to help with almost anything!
