I got my phone from the Verizon Store. I didn't want to set it up for the first time alone.
For me I had to have the Bluetooth keyboard because if I didn't I knew I wouldn't be able to use the phone effectively and it would frustrate me too much. I can do the gestures and use the screen but I still don't type on screen. I can do the phone numbers but for regular typing I just can't get that part down and there is nothing wrong with having a keyboard. I have a regular keyboard and not the fold up small kind. I have the one by Logitech but right now I can't tell you which one. I like it because it has an actual on/off switch where the Apple Keyboard only has the push in button so you never knew if it was off. They probably have a newer one out by now but when I got my iPhone 4 that was the one they had. I now have the 4S. As for how many gigs, that is totally up to you. I did get the 64 gig only because I have my own music on the phone rather than using Pandora or any radio apps. It's just what I prefer. I don't plan on upgrading my phone with the next upgrade since I made the choice to go with the 64 gig as I couldn't afford that kind of upgrade every two years. I know many people are very happy with the 16 gig but I think if I hadn't gotten what I did I would have gotten at least the 32 gig. So far I haven't used hardly any of my data plan. You don't use much when you do email, Twitter or Facebook. I've also had to use the At Bat App on data a couple of times and you don't use much with that but if you were to play say Pandora it is my understanding that that takes a lot of data useage. Sorry this is long but hope it helps.

I'm new to the group and have some questions. I'm going to be upgrading on 5/5/12. I have some questions and will post them here. 1. I have decided to get the iphone 4s and will be ordering that on Tuesday. First question did you get your i phone online or at the apple store? I can go to verizon and get it but wonder if they will be more helpful at apple and can they help with things like porting your number over from the old phone to the new? Did you order yours online or go to the store? if you ordered it directly from your cell provider can you set it up independently or did you have to go to the store to get help? 2. Do you use a bluetooth keyboard with yours or just the i phone? 3. What podcasts are out there for the iphone 4s? Is there a good resource for learning the gestures and using the flat screen? 4. How many gigs would you recommend? I don't plan to watch a lot of movies, download videos and mainly want to use my phone for calls, facebooking, and twitters? Maybe here or there a video but I don't plan to go overboard. I have wifi here at home and plan to use that. When I'm away is it easy to use your data plan if there aren't any wifi connections available especially if i"m on a bus or something? Thanks for answering all of my questions. I'm sure I will have more as I go along. -- Rebecca and Zeb email: [email protected] facebook: facebook.com/rebeccai5 Zeb's facebook: facebook.com/zeb.ilniski -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
