Hello people, this is a really good list, a lot of these features have been gradually been added, can’t wait for version 2.0 alpha!
They should add an “accelerometer override” option, so you can decide when you want it to work -or not.

amy: cool. congrats. I’m not going to buy the iPhone 3G. Not, until we/or anyone makes a full unlock and jailbreak.
Hey i have the Iphone 2.1 it has both cydia and installer, can you give me ay sources to get roms for the GBA? without using a computer.. thanks
Last night a friend ask me if i could bluetooth him a song. Her phone (Nokia) was able to pick up my iphone. My phone searched for the longest time, until i gave up. Is there something I need on my iphone. Do i need wifi to find other phones besides another iphone? Please help!!!
Robert: hey man. Sorry, but it was Apple’s stupid idea to not include support for bluetooth file transfers. The only thing Apple built in support for was any headset. A wireless headset. That’s it. There are no hacks either. The hardware just won’t allow it, plus there aren’t any frameworks to use in order to make an application that allows you to do this. Sorry man. You are out of luck.
iPhone should have remote keypad for typing sms just like normal phone can type with feeling wihtout looking at virtual keyboard. many people change their mine to get iPhone cause of this problem, especially for heavy sms’er
Hi bring the pic texting to the iphone.
that is the coolest thing ever. I would do anything to get an iphone that has ichat on it and that it can send pictures. If apple does that the day it comes out even if i dont get it it will be the best day of my life
Get a security lock when turning on the phone like a Sim pin must be entered to fully turn the phone on if code is incorrect after 3 tries the phone goes into total lock down.
why not to add Backup software to backup all applications and software of Iphone onto the Computer
Why not to add answer machine to work on Iphone
Something seriously needs to be done about the 2g sound output. Cant ever hear my phone ring, plus can’t hear any music or watch movies without connecting to external speakers…. What’s up with that anyway? Why da hell did Apple make such an amazing phone and give it such crap sound quality?!!!!
does anyone know if its even possible to sort this problem out through a software method?
THE ABILITY TO HAVE THIS THING FIXED FOR A ‘NON RESPOSIVE BAND’ WHEN ONLY 8 DAYS OUT OF WARRANTY.
APPLE IS A COMPANY THAT DOESN’T VALUE ITS CUSTOMERS, THEREFORE I WILL NEVER BE ONE AGAIN NO MATTER HOW GOOD THEIR PRODUCTS ‘APPEAR’ TO BE
