I really want a true GPS added. With real maps. So when I go skiing I can track where I’ve been and make calls to friends with my location.

Currently I use Sprint’s Rev A service with a Novatel Ovation USB dongle – combined with a small battery operated Cradlepoint router – to create my own wifi hotspot wherever Sprint service is active – it’s great, plus provides fast wifi for the iphone when I’m in an EDGE only area.

I second your list! After watching the entire presentation by Steve Jobs. Seeing all of the developers with their games and new programs for doctors…etc., all I could think was: “all that, and I still can’t text a photo”…sad.

i used to have a blackberry pearl b4 i got the iphone and i was able to us it as wireless connection through my laptop. Of course it was EDGE so it was very slow, but its better then nothing. An iphone with 3g would be great for this…although wouldn’t your bill be HUGE!

One big irritant for me is the recent call screen. You can’t erase one number.. you have to erase all or none. How hard would that be to fix… drives me nuts!

There’s actually an app that does exactly this for windows mobile (and I don’t know about symbian). And….even better… you can do this with your iphone (ahh the goodies of jailbreaking):

It does NOT make the iPhone act as a router but it will enough to (wich let’s be honest, it’s the point of all this) thether your edge connection to your laptop.

Or maybe you already knew about this and what you really want is setting up as a router and using it for two or more devices (that wuold kill the battery tough).

Wait can’t the iPhone be used on Alltel or Verizon?
