andy // Dec 15, 2007 at 6:04 AM
should include video camera as standard instead of having to wait for dodgy third party one
Ande // Dec 24, 2007 at 8:13 AM
Well I hope they will put out more than one Version of the iPhone to replace the iPhone 1.0 …
Wishlist includes for a high end version :
4+ megapixel rear facing camera
VGA front facing camera for videocalling
GPS
A2DP for Stereo Bluetooth
A WiFi accessible ExtHDD be carried in a pocket or bag, and could be accessed via the phone. 🙂
This would just have a charging socket and nothing else. A Big Apple logo perhaps :p

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!
Miguel // Apr 8, 2008 at 7:35 PM
They should add an “accelerometer override” option, so you can decide when you want it to work -or not.

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!!!
Alan Vazquez // Nov 26, 2008 at 3:16 PM
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
Brad // Dec 10, 2008 at 8:45 PM
Hi bring the pic texting to the iphone.
Dude42 // Feb 20, 2009 at 2:51 PM
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
Brad Zepik // Feb 22, 2009 at 6:18 PM
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.
Dr Mamdouh Bakhoum // Feb 23, 2009 at 2:33 AM
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
Ahmed // Apr 7, 2009 at 4:43 AM
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?
andrew MILLINGTON // May 13, 2009 at 8:42 AM
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
tommylouis // Jun 25, 2009 at 12:57 PM

Hur jailbreaka jag min iphone 3g 4.2.1 utan att använda min homeknapp? eftersom den är trasig. Men jag har en ersättare button från Cydia.
