First, welcome to the wonderful world of iPhones. But also, I’m sure you’re looking for fun applications to download. Here are a few of my favorites in no particular order: 

1. AroundMe: Using your current location, it will find the nearest banks, bars, coffee shops, gas stations, hospitals, hotels, cinemas, parking, pharmacies, restaurants, supermarkets, taxis, etc.

2. Kayak: I like this application better than the website itself. It finds flights and then gives you a link to call the airline or book on your iPhone via safari.

3. Hotels.com: Also questionably better than the website. 

4. Skype: Keep in touch via instant messaging or phone calls just like on your computer. 

5. OpenTable: Make dinner reservations (at places all over the world). Earn points. Use them for restaurant gift certificates. 

6. Stanza: I’ve essentially turned my phone into a kindle using the Stanza application. It is great for flights or when you’ve finished your book early. 

Happy iPhone-ing.
