iPhone Tips & Limited Editions

Here are a few tips about the iPhone that you may not know yet.

Get a bigger keyboard. As with any other iPhone function requiring data entry, tapping on Safari's address bar summons an on-screen keyboard. If you rotate the iPhone horizontally before tapping on the address bar, the Safari window will switch to horizontal mode. Then, when you tap on the address bar, the on-screen keyboard will also appear horizontally. More important, it will also be much larger than the standard, vertical keyboard, making data entry a little easier. Unfortunately, Safari is currently the only iPhone application in which this horizontal keyboard appears. If you want to use the keyboard in its standard vertical orientation, summon it before rotating your iPhone.
Share URLs. If you want to send a friend the URL of a Web page you're viewing, tap on the address bar, and then tap on Share. A new e-mail message containing the address will open in Mail; just choose one or more recipients, add your comments, and tap on Send.

CW has the full list.

And because this isn't iPhone.ca, here's something that isn't about Apple's mobile. It looks like Motorola is going to dress up the RAZR 2 by launching a high-end version.

As expected, Motorola's announced the "Luxury Edition" of the EDGE-only RAZR 2 V8, trimming the phone with 18 and 24 karat gold accents, a black "vacuum metal" finish, etched sides and nav wheel, and a soft-touch posterior endowed with a snakeskin pattern. A bundled H680 Bluetooth headset (trimmed with 18 karat gold, naturally) and a leather carrying case round out the package, fit for the aspiring Vertu owner who hasn't quite yet reached a Vertu salary.

There's no release date yet, but expect it to arrive this year.
