ok, so everyone has their "list" of things to fix on the iphone. 

yes i know the world doesn't need another one but you're getting one anyway. 

i'm skipping the obvious ones and focussing on a group of people underrepresented in the US but who are HUGE in the next two iPhone markets: the "subway users" like myself -- heavy on the texting and MMS (ha!), light on the calls and bluetool headsets... 

  • small SMS memory limit!
  • can't save text message conversations like u can ichats
  • can't forward a text message (essential if you can't copy and paste!)
  • can't send an SMS to more than one person
  • no SMSing while you're on a call (when you're stuck on a conference call it's SO nice to be able to SMS people like you can on a blackjack). update: you can actually do this if you receive an incoming sms during a call, tho i couldn't figure out any way to initiate a new SMS during a call. update2: cmp pointed out that pushing the "home" button during a call doesn't actually hang up on the person, so yeah, you can initiate an SMS as well - yay!
  • can't share a YouTube link via SMS (you HAVE to do it by email)
  • images sent directly from camera app are "nowhere" -- they're not in your mail outbox and if they get "stuck" you can't delete them
  • emailed camera images are auto-downsampled to 640x480
  • !! emailing a photo to an MMS-capable device detaches the picture from it !!
  • you can't queue messages for sending from the camera app, the first one has to send before you can send another
  • if you have a txt message DURING a call, you can't click END CALL at the end of the call, the ignore/view dialog is blocks you
  • 'new text message' sound is not customizable, nor is the volume for it. i don't effing need to have britney spears or some testosterone-poisoned hipster mating call as my ringtone, i just need to hear thru my jacket pocket that i have a new message dammit. 
  • safari doesn't use any of the free system memory to cache pages. i would like to load up 5 or 6 news stories before i leave the house and read them on the train to work, but when i reopen safari on the train, all the pages have gone blank and attempt to re-download. not gonna happen in the muni tunnel. it holds 2. that's it. 2. 
  • safari doesn't cache the previous page even when you have only one open. i click back, it reloads from the server rather than caching it
  • in an sms conversation, you can't jump to edit the contact -- why doesn't clicking their name just open their contact? likewise when you're sending an email to a person who doesn't have an email entry... like steve's number is in my phone book, i *know* his address but i just haven't entered it into his contact yet, but i can't TYPE it in... instead you have to exit all the way back to the phone app. grm.
  • email configurations that will obviously fail are still copied with no warning (e.g., mail server is "192.168.168.3")
  • sorry, why does the weather icon always show 73?! the calendar icon always shows today's date. are they going to change this to 23 when it ships in europe?
