That's it? I'm shocked. Truly. My opinions are as follows. Merely opinions mind you.

Maybe I'm just drinking the koolaid, but I'm totally happy with the recessed headphone jack. Before any of us ever even knew about it, I was afraid it would eventually break there. I have always had that fear with my iPods, but fortunately I haven't had that issue yet! Maybe you all haven't experienced broken solder joints due to stress on output jacks. I grew up with that with all my walkmans and walkman-esque gadgets. Eventually, the jack solder-joints grew weak and I ended up having to hold a jack in a certain way to make contact. This recess prevents that from happening. I've also experienced this with plug-in type headsets for normal phones. Motorola, Samsung, and Nokia. That was why I switched to Bluetooth - not for the convenience of cord-free, but that I wouldn't have to ever worry about bad jack connections again. So here's my hope - that Steve keeps that recessed jack like a 1-button mouse.

As for the camera and camera-tank-accessories, No big issue for me. Sounds to me like you want a dedicated camera for photographing weddings. I've been totally satisfied with the abilities of my iPhone's camera. I don't think it's supposed to be a pro camera. It's supposed to be a camera phone. Only slightly better. And not a pro camera phone, like that Nokia one you all rave about... ;-)

Storage, I'm with the majority. I still use my hard drive iPod for lugging around my music. I'm totally happy syncing a smart list that contains my last 16 weeks worth of music purchases. Right now that's over 150 songs. For someone who hasn't even used his iPhone as an iPod, that's plenty!

I can't think of much I would change. Cut-copy-paste. Notes and To-Do syncing. I'm thinking those two will be covered in Leopard (via the new Mail) and a subsequent iPhone update. Those are my only true wishes. Real 3rd party apps would be nice, but I wouldn't lose much sleep over it if it didn't appear.

you don't want a higher resolution camera. 2 megapixels is fines. trust me on this one. what you REALLY want is a better quality image sensor (not higher megapixels), a better lens, auto focus, and better exposure/white balance.

in your post you said, "I just want to be able to stop carrying around my compact digicam." the simple fact is, if you care about good quality images, its simply not going to happen anytime soon. just because nokia can stick a 5 megapixel sensor into their phone, that doesn't mean produces images any better than the iPhone. the difference between 2-5 megapixels on a phone is negligible at best. its every other aspect of the camera (those that i stated above) that will determine if it will make good quality images.

I agree about the megapixel issue. I have a point-and-shoot 2MP camera from 2001 and the pictures it takes are pretty darned good. _Better_ camera (good sensor, autofocus, optical zoom, flash) is way more important than MPs.

kdo: You're right, and "higher-resolution" was basically my sloppy shorthand for "a camera that takes better pictures." In fact, I've still got an older 2.1MP Canon (maybe the same one as Jason) that takes very good pictures. That said, from the comparisons I've seen, the N95's camera can take noticeably better pictures than the iPhone, which is what I was really getting at.

As for whether or not an improved camera could let me leave the digicam at home, let me clarify: When I care about picture quality, I'm bringing at least my point-and-shoot digicam, if not my DSLR. But there are plenty of times when I just want to have a decent camera with me "just in case," and I'm willing to sacrifice -- to some extent -- overall image quality for convenience. The iPhone's camera still isn't good enough to let me leave the compact camera at home.

Bluetooth headphones for music - How on earth did they forget that? It is an iPod, and Phone with Bluetooth earphone capability for the phone part, but you can't use a combo set of headphone, earphones with it - like the iSkin F1 that is advertised on this site all the time. How ridiculous is that?

As I understand it, the Bluetooth hardware in the phone supports A2DP; in other words, the technology is actually there. I expect we'll see this capability enabled in a future software update.

How about moving the camera to the front of the phone so one can video chat when the software eventually arrives.

The iphone really needs either physical buttons for blindly skipping tracks and adjusting volume, or else a remote that will accomplish those tasks into which you can plug your own headphones.

SMG: Agreed. Although hardware, we actually put this in our iPod section. Probably should have gone here.

You know I don't need more storage. Sure I do have a full fledged ipod lieing around, but I don't use it. When I do though, there's a ton of songs most of the time I'm not going to listen to. I can easily put all the songs I could possibily want to listen to on any even given day, and then every video I might possibly could watch on any even given day onto the iphone every morning before I unplug it from my computer. It's a phone. It's getting charged every night, moving things around for a new day doesn't take very long.

I was reminded somewhere about something I would like to see... a better speaker. This thing is dreadfully crappy. Ringtones aren't audible with a little noise in the room. Yes, I understand it's a tiny speaker, but other people in my house can hear their phone when it rings. Me? Well, now that the update has removed all my ringtones anyways, I don't think I'll put em back on. There's no point unless I'm in the library.

Am I the only one who wants my Nike+ to work with my iPhone? Others might not like the weight but it weighs less than water bottles required for long runs. Sure the iPhone is running some version of OS X and not just the nano's OS - the iPhone should be capable as soon as the decide to port Nike+ to it. I don't want to take my nano and iPhone on runs or drag both along on business trips.

I second the Nike+ option. I'm a walker not a runner and I always carry my phone anyway, just in case for emergencies, but I'd like to only carry one item if possible.

The one thing I have not seen mentioned as an option for the iPhone is some sort of continuous notification of a call or mail or message. My free phone from Sprint used to keep vibrating every 5 minutes until I opened it to see what I missed. When I moved to a Treo, I was dumbfounded to find that wasn't an option either on that phone. What is it with Smartphones and notification. There are many times I'm going to and from my office and I don't have the phone on me and every time I come back to my office I have to check the phone to make sure I didn't miss something. It seems like such a basic option.

Come on Apple, what happened to your thinking caps? Where is a LED to notify us of a message without having to turn the unit on? And please do something about the softness of the speaker for speakerphone and for the volume of hearing when a txt message arrives. It is just too soft! I hope you have a software update for the many issues that us guinea pigs have suffered through.
