Hi, When I started using an iPhone 4 back in March of 2010 I had the very same questions and doubts about using any sort of iDevice with a touch screen. But I'm the adventurous sort, and I dived right in. Thank God I had help from a coworker who was adept at using VoiceOver and she introduced me to the basic VO gestures. Having mastered those basic gestures, I've found and am convinced that mastery of those essential gestures is key to doing whatever you want to do on an iPhone or an iPad, no matter what app you install and work with. I also have found Ana Dresner's books instrumental in helping me discover what the device is capable of; with their conversational, casual tone, her books show that she has a real knack for piquing your interest and, importantly, removing the fear factor that inevitably accompanies exploring unfamiliar territory. I recommend her books gighly to all of my students. Jonathan Mosen's books are also very handy. Read at least one of thosh books, find some folks who already use an iPhone so you can get some valuable tips, and don't be afraid to explore, dig in and get your hands dirty, so to speak. You'll be glad you did.
