Double-clicking the home button while the phone is asleep brings up the iPod controls, letting you skip songs or change volume without ever unlocking the phone. Also, double-clicking while the phone is unlocked brings up the phone favorites screen.

You can change this setting under General Settings.

****Of course I just noticed that this was mentioned 3 pages ago. My apologies! *****

Another neat trick...If you are Texting and want to call who you are texting, touch the time on the top bar...you be at the top of the texting string and you can press the call button.

The dock amplifies the speaker on your iPhone so that music etc. is louder (at least, it did in V1...).

Thanks for the tips! I'd give a thanks, but I don't have enough post yet.

Here is another one that I don't know if it's listed or not.
If you are playing a movie in the iPod app, and don't like having the volume buttons on the bottom left where they really aren't very accessable, flip it around 180 so they are on top. The movie is now able to play either way!! Yes, I am sure someone has mentioned this before, but I couldn't find it, and I am easily amused.

Haven't read thru this whole thread, so maybe this has been mentioned but I never knew it. In mail if you hold down the period you will get a .com popup plus .org-.edu. just like in safari.
