    Here's a couple of screenshots of what it does. Notice the page number and post number, when I want to view the next page it keeps the same post just changes the number. Maybe I have something set wrong.Attachment 278151Attachment 278161

    I would recommend the LifeProof case to anybody using the iPhone on the job. It is water proof and offers some shock proection. Available at BestBuy.

    GPS is built in. One can type in an address to go to (choose start as current location), or one can go to your contacts to find the address to go to.
    Also a feature to show or hide traffic. Traffic is shown as green, amber, or red lines over the road. In a LARGE city like Atlanta... this is invaluable to avoid traffic tie-ups.

    VERY easy, and for me very useful!

    Just a few taps on the phone screen and I have a map from where I am NOW... to the next call. And since I have well over 500 customers in the phone... it makes keeping track of them easy.

    I also have important data on each customer... like details of their equipment, gate code if it is a gated community, notes on issues, etc. I also have their email addys, so I can send a note if I need to.

    Someone already mentioned pictures... you can text them or Email them around.

    It is a WONDERFUL business tool, well worth the cost and extra mos charge for data. Check out the multi-device data plans at Verizon and AT&T... not a bad deal.

    OH, and be SURE to set up regular back-ups of the entire phone to your PC or Apple... loosing what is on the phone could be hazardous to your business and your mental/emotional health... <grin>

    I love the screen shot hit center button and top right, pic taken. Great when u open a email with a list and want to avoid re opening email or u have no signal.

    Or i use to send conversations that were text and want to put on email for file.

    It is, just need to get a decent cover for it... and... Man! Those things can come quite handy in more than one way.. Maps, T/P Charts, Hvactalk, Google, Flashlight, Pictures for layouts, serials, models, schematics... and thats just the ones i can think of right now

    I use my smart phone to download service manuals ALL the time... not as much anymore because Ive got most the units I work on saved in a file... the main reason I started doing this was for setting variable speed blower motor dip switches that seem to be wrong all the time. As far as a source, I usually just google the model number and loom for a pdf...
