wish list

[peaforhire]

my wish list for next iphone:

1. photos should take up the whole screen when contacts call
2. the # sign should be able to auto dial extensions and prompts in saved numbers
3. contacts section needs a quick pull up list, just like in the SMS section

can we assign speed dials? i never read the manual!

they must have a partnership with yahoo, but i would love to sync with google contacts!!!

Give us Copy/Paste facility. Every cell phone has had this for at least 10 years.

Give us A2DP Bluetooth stereo capability. This is common on most phones with an MP3 player.

Give us voice dialing. Only the cheapest cell phones have not had voice dialing for at least 5 years.

Give us Java support. This is common on most modern smartphones.

Give us Flash support. This is common on most modern smartphones.

Give us Internet text messaging. This is common on most modern smartphones.

Allow us to download our own ringtones. Even the cheapest cell phones have this capability.

Allow us to sync our addresses/contacts via Bluetooth. I can do this with my 3-year old Motorola phone, but not with my iPhone.

Add an expandable memory slot. This is common on most modern smartphones.

Give us a decent resolution camera. Even my wife's basic cell phone has a 2mpx camera.

Give us a headphone jack that will fit most headphones. Hello???!!! What's with that recessed jack?

Give us GPS capability. It has been on several Blackberrys and other high end smartphones for some time.

All but the last item are the reasons why I returned my iPhone on July 3. I'll wait for version 2, but I can't afford to wait too long.

For your first one, photos already take up the whole screen when contacts call. Take a picture of someone, then go to their name in the phonebook. Edit their entry, and click on the square in the top left, hit choose picture, find that picture in your photo albums, then have them call. The pic will fill up the screen when they call.

I highly doubt that an upgrade will be coming soon. It took almost 2 year for the ipod upgrade to hit the stores. Even if you wait for the upgrade, more problems will arise. The new upgrade will most likely include the the 3G upgrade in speed. This will kill the battery life even more. The battery already isnt that great...

However, i do agree with the slow upgrades with apple. Microsoft is killing itself coming out with new different products all the time. Half of them suck.

More space
3g
Replaceable (or longer life) battery
Flash support
Download itunes music straight from phone

More to come. . . .

I like the iphone the way it is now and these are only things that I "want" in the next iphone, not neccessarily what I need.

I have only had mine for a few hours, but I would love to see a feature of being able to delete multiple emails at one time. And like someone else said on here - be able to have email from multiple accounts in one screen not separate boxes to check. I am coming from using Blackberries for the past 3 years so I would like to see some of those features.

- Custom Ringtones
- Different Ringtones for different contacts
- Select different sounds for different things (mail, calendar, vs phone, etc.)
- When in calendar mode, and I turn my iPhone landscape it should show the month view.
- Voice Activated Dialing - completely hands free.
- Different Signatures for different email accounts.

That's my wish list. Hope they are listening :laugh2: to all of these good ideas on this board.

I have a Blackberry Pearl and want to get an iphone so I am reading this forum to help me make up my mind. Can you really not assign different ringtones for different contacts on iphone? I like to do that because if I am working and phone is on my desk I can pick it up if it is a certain person calling. I also like how I can assign different sounds to incoming texts or VM, etc... on the Pearl. I do like voice activated dailing, but it's not a deal buster since it doesn't always work perfectly anyway. The Pearl doesn't have 3G either, so that doesn't bother me. thanks for the info!

I want to be able to sync with Google calendar. I don't use Outlook, never have and the version I have on my computer is too old to sync, even if I did use it!

Google calendar sync, please!

You can assign different ringtones for different contacts. However, you can't assing different sounds for incoming texts and or VM. Hopefully in a future update. :laugh2:

Everything you said, but i would like to stress these:

-Copy & Paste. As cool as the touch keyboard is, it would still be easier to just highlight and drag, or copy & paste.
-Standard headphone jack. Just because you have reinvented the cell phone, doesn't mean you have to reinvent headphones.
-A more customizable homescreen like on any computer, with a background and any shortcuts i want.
-expandable storage

mass text and mms capabilites mofo! c'mon now, i know the apps are getting developed but lets pick up the pace please

You know I was thinking today also of a cool feature that could be used with the "paint/sketch" app you mentioned.

To be able to paint or sketch on a photo taken and send it thru email or text message. I could use this at work to take a photo and circle something in the photo that I'm wanting the person to focus on...anyways, thought it was a good idea.

[bsharp]

I would like a Keynote Player on the iPhone. Now that we have video out, I could use it to display keynote slides/files on a video projector or TV.

Also... "I want to learn to blow things up, with my mind." - "Freaky Student" in the movie, ACCEPTED.

This has probably already been said, but more landscape action!
I'm disappointed that Safari is the only real part of the phone where you have control over the landscape, and it's obviously so much better. It turns the weird small keyboard into an actual almost workable keypad, and you should be able to turn it even when you have the keyboard already up (you know what i mean)

I have a Blackberry Pearl and want to get an iphone so I am reading this forum to help me make up my mind. Can you really not assign different ringtones for different contacts on iphone?

I am waiting on version 2 of the iPhone, to see if they add in all or most of the missing basic features (voice-dial, cut & paste, REAL downloadable ringtones, A2DP Bluetooth stereo, a decent headphone jack, etc.). However, if a corrected version is too long in coming, I may be forced to get something else.

Since you are a Blackberry user, you might want to look at the 8820, which should be out in the US soon. I have seen it in London and it is everything that it is hyped to be. It doesn't have a camera, but that isn't all that important to me. But concerning the camera, if a smartphone is to have a camera, at all, it should be larger than the cheesy 2MP camera on the iPhone. The Nokia N95 has a 5MP camera, with flash and (wonder of wonders) video. Imagine that.

BTW, the N95 is the other phone that I might consider, if Apple doesn't come out with a fixed version of the iPhone, in a reasonable time frame. Neither the 8820 nor the N95 has all the glitz of the iPhone. But, both include all of the basic features that make a smartphone functional. I'll trade glitz for functionality any day. I just hope that Apple doesn't take too long to add in the functionality to the iPhone.

- Multi-media Messages
- The ability to turn off text messages automatically popping up on whatever screen. I would prefer to simply have a sound letting me know that I have a txt message and a number next to the icon (which it already does) letting me know that something's there. Too often something I'd prefer to keep private pops up when I'm showing off my iPhone to someone.
- 3G (however, I don't want this until power issues are resolved to maintain battery life).
- Copy and paste
- I would like to be able to send my contact information to someone else's PDA via Bluetooth.

I'm sure I could come up with more if pressured.
