Everybody’s waiting for iPhone’s June 29 release and everybody is full of interest to find out if the smart phone is that perfect as Apple’s CEO Steve Jobs claimed.

Analysts don’t stop guessing what makes the iPhone so popular and long awaited. Meanwhile the other cell phone manufacturers, who are in the market for many-many years and have released lots of great phone models, are angry that the products they release don’t make such a buzz. The industry rivals are considering of Apple’s marketing tricks that make public strongly believe in its products.

iPhone will cost $499 or $599 depending on its configuration. There are lots of smart phones in the market that cost less than $100, but customers are still willing to buy Apple’s products.

Apple is already a well trusted manufacturer with its Mac computers and iPod music players, maybe this is why public is already sure that Apple will provide mobile phones with better quality.

What market analysts say about iPhone, is that it is not the first smart phone that is a combination of several gadgets all in one. But it is the first to be so easy to use.

iPhone new touchscreen instead of a traditional keyboard makes it very easy to use the phone’s features. A user doesn’t need to go through boring step of menu to find what he looks for. Only a single touch will be enough to find what you’re looking for.

iPhone has everything that other smart phones have, but its advantage is that it is very easy to find the things you’re looking for. You can just touch the photo icon on the touchscreen and it will open your photo gallery. Missed call and recent call number are also very easily accessible.

iPhone has a new feature of voicemail that enables a user to look through received voice mails not in the order they are received. You can easily pick any of the messages from the list and listen to it without going through all messages.

Mobile phone users will be able to use a built in Wi-Fi internet to surf the web. All web pages will be able to open on iPhone’s large screen. Google Maps and YouTube video sharing are all coming with the phone. YouTube users will be able to log in using their existing accounts and share/view video files.

So analysts think that iPhone is very popular because of its easy to use software that enables lots of features for a user and makes them easy to access.

AT&T is the official service provider for the iPhone and it has already spent huge amount of money to improve its network services and to provide with better internet access. It has also hired about 2000 more employees for the first week of the phone release.

Analysts predict lots of cell phone users to pay extra money and cancel existing contracts with mobile phone service providers and to obtain new contracts with AT&T and get the desired iPhone. by Ruzan Harutyunyan for HULIQ.com
