Get the screen put on by professional. He will make sure that there are no bubbles. On earlier digital diaries and phones, where a stylus was used, I used to get the screen cover replaced every year or so. I have never used a touch or screen input device without a screen guard except my first device which was Casio Cassiopeia which I had bought in 1997. Screen guards came later.

I agree the cases design for iPhone 4 do not fit the iPhone 4s

That depends on the case, and on whether the 4 is an AT&T or a Verizon phone (which differ slightly in the placement of the buttons).
The dimensions of the 4 and 4S phones themselves are identical otherwise.

Yes, most cases do. The Otter box and others that close over to top and bottom of the front screen *could* screw with the Proximity sensor. Otherwise, all the buttons and such ARE accessible. I sell the cases at the Apple store, and only notice a slight lowering of the mute button in some of the cases, but they still work and one can still turn the mute on or off.

Two essentials: a case, and a reserve power supply.
I've been very happy with a gel case (Amzer Luxe argyle, many colors including smoke). Under $10, simple, attractive (I've gotten compliments). It's transparent, so the design of the phone is visible, but it's distinctive too. Also, it's not too slippery, so when I lay my phone on my thigh on a moving bus, it stays. And when I drop it on a concrete sidewalk (twice now), it survives.
On my 3G, I used a screen protector, but with the luscious silky feel of the glass on the 4, I just couldn't bear to put plastic over it, and I haven't been sorry. Nary a scratch.
I use a Richard Solo 1800 power supply for backup. It doesn't deliver a 100% recharge, but it's easy to carry and use. I'm contemplating getting a second one for a long trip. I haven't tried the Mophie, but I used another battery case for a while, and the phone no longer fit comfortably into my shirt pocket, where I always keep it (until they issue a surgically implantable model ;-). They sell one that plugs directly into the phone, and one that uses a cable--the latter is much more versatile. Now I see they sell bigger ones that can charge an iPad and other devices.
Beware of third-party charging cables at Radio Shack etc. ("compatible with all iPhones"). Few of them work--at all (for which I blame Apple, rather than Radio Shack--why the hell can't we buy third-party stuff?!)

I've got a Belkin case that silicone around the edges and a clear plastic panel on the back (except for the camera and flash). It seems to protect it quite well.
I also got a screen protector for it.
I have on order a set of plugs to cover the data port and earphone plug. Someone I know says he's had trouble with previous iPhones having dust get in through those holes.

Rasputin: where did you order your plugs from? I'd like to get a set :-)
Concerning essentials, I always buy a Mophie (http://www.mophie.com/ ). It's an external battery/case. It's the best external battery I've found that doesn't make your iPhone feel really thick. For other cases, I like Incase (https://goincase.com/m/#home ), Agent 18 (https://goincase.com/m/#home ) and iFrogz (https://goincase.com/m/#home ). There's lots of other case makers but these are my go to case sites when buying a new case. My favorite iFrogz case is the Luxe Original (http://ifrogz.com/product/ ).IP4GLO
Apps, I can't live without GoodReader. It's more than just a PDF reader. Check it out in the app store. It's a PDF reader, it zips files which you can upload to places like Dropbox, you can download zip file to it from storage sites like Dropbox and much more. I have the Dropbox app for my iPhone. I'd you choose box.net, there's an app for that.
Those are my picks. I hope it helps.

New 4S
Posted by: "Betsy Schwartz" betsys@gmail.com betsys99
Sat Nov 19, 2011 7:08 pm (PST)
Just got my 4S. Upgraded by my employer from a 32G 3G to a 16G 4S
First impressions:
-Screen is ***sharp***. HUGE difference from the 3G
-Camera is enormously improved. This was my biggest motivation for switching.
-Siri has not been genuinely useful, so far, as it's knowledge of
Boston geography is a bit fuzzy, and it can't give me store hours
(which is usually my most pressing question). Google search is still
more useful.
-System is noticably faster
-I think the battery is wearing down faster and it's running hotter,
but I am not sure , because I'm also using it more.
-the 3G was more comfortable in the hand, but the 4S stays still on a table.
The actual usable storage has gone from 29G to 13G which is a pretty
noticeable hit. I have more than 32G of music to begin with, not
counting podcasts.
(on the plus side, the old 3G makes a pretty nice little iPod)
Still looking for a good, indestructible case with belt clip, that I
can't accidentally knock the phone out of, but that doesn't look ready
for combat either...

Most e-mail accounts are not IMAP nor POP but are really both if you will. That is the mail is stored in one location on the server and can be accessed via either a process serving POP or another process serving IMAP. So you can use either or both to get your mail.
I use IMAP on my iPhone, a could of laptops and one desktop machine that I use regularly and POP on my main laptop. This way I can check it on one of the computers using IMAP, deleting messages I'm not interested in or have read and reply. But then when I check my e-mail with my main machine the messages are downloaded and deleted off the server.

I usually go into the trash folders on each account and delete older mail, over about 1 month old. That way recent stuff is still available in case I need to refer back to it.
I use POP (ultimately) as I prefer to keep my mail on my computer.

The poster said "firewall", not "Firefox". Big difference.
To find out try using it somewhere else where WiFi is available (and not likely to be firewalled, such as an Internet cafe or home network).

You may well not have your mail settings entered correctly. Check to see if your mail provider has a setup page for iPhone / iPads.
