Don't get me wrong, I am absolutely thrilled and in love with my new iPhone. However, like any first generation product, it has a few flaws. So here are my feature requests. Almost all of these are features the iphone already has, just in a different application. Feel free to add your own suggestions!
1) Landscape mode in Mail and Notes and Txt messaging.
In Safari you can switch into landscape mode and get a bigger keyboard. It's a really sweet feature, I just wish more apps had it. It'd be nice for typing long items, especially in mail and notes.
2) Contact search in Phone.
In Text Messaging you can get a live updating list with a search box for your contacts when you choose the recipient. This would be awesome for the phone as well so you can quickly filter your contacts.
3) Single finger double tap zoom, two-finger tap unzoom in photos.
These are nice features in the Googlemaps app, and it takes a little getting used to to switch zoom methods depending on which app you're in. It'd be nice if they just all had a unified set of controls.
4) You can only landscape counter-clockwise in video.
All the other apps that let you go into landscape mode work in both directions, but video locks you into the volume buttons on the bottom.
5) Related to 4: the volume buttons are counter intuitive in video mode. When you have it turned on its side, the button that's now on the right makes the volume on screen indicator move to the left (because it's the down button).
6) No way to mark all as read in Mail.
Since I'm using POP my mails aren't synched up across my laptop and my iPhone. This means I've got a TON of unread emails on my iPhone that I actually read on the laptop earlier. A "mark all as read" option for the mailbox would help with this a lot.
