  i suggest taxi drivers carry a phone with camera, in case of any emergency you can take photo or video as evidence 

   

  just make sure you know how to use it,

   

  as for Iphone, it has nearly everything plus surf internet, get all the information in 1 device, so why not? aunties and uncles also carry iphone

  I set the notification ON oni for LTA updates, cos the rest by user ones sometimes keep on beeping rather nuisance. Will off it if I am not driving.

   

  But will ON the 'Traffic police alerts by users' during midnite cos if got road blocked or camera will be quite accurate.

  Becos my horse will run much faster after midnite...hahaha so dun play play ah...

  Go to Settings - Mail, Contacts, Calenders, 

  to set up your email accounts

  (if still dont know, can meet me at Yew Tee Cafe Lobby and i help you for free)

  to avoid paying for SMS, kindly use WhatsApp

  if you want to jailbreak your iPhone 3G come and look for me, after jailbreak you can install SMS counter and Call Counter to keep track of how many SMS and calls you made per billing cycle

  iBBOM help you check how much data you use (for Singtel BBOM). 

  iPhone is a very good tool even for taxi drivers, and for me (law students) i install law text books and law dictionary into the iPhone. i got alot of stuff in the iPhone.

  you need a Taxi fast? Get this app:

   

  iCabSG (Taxi in Singapore) - Free

   

  With iCabSG, you don't need to remember the number to dial nor to search high and low to get a cab in Singapore.
  
  Just launch iCabSG and tap on any taxi company in Singapore. iCabSG will immediately dial for a Singapore taxi for you all from a single tap!
  
  Simple, convenient and free!
  
  "I think these apps are simple and yet so very useful for both Singaporeans and travelers to Singapore. Something that I would totally recommend everyone I know with an iPhone to load up, because you never know when you are gonna need them, until you do." From NTT of Tech65.org
  
  *Suitable for any users traveling to Singapore.

  alot of people buy iPhone but they dont really know to use it. 

  Iphone = Computer + Phone, and it is more of a computer to me plus alot of things like GPS, etc.
