The option to change to tone for incoming SMSs is showing on my 1.1.2 iPhone. Is this what you mean or something else?
Got a tip for us?

guess you haven't been paying attention to the iPod arena much. with the 5G ipods that came out a year or two ago, they dropped firewire support, and you can only charge it with a firewire cable. same thing with the iphone.
Yeah, you've been able to change the SMS sound since 1.1.1
Unfortunately, you can't add custom sounds to the list (without jailbreaking, at least).
Really wish you could change any of the alert sounds and add custom sounds to the list.
Basic stuff first please
Before Apple get stuck into adding glitzy new features I'd like to see them fix a few of the missing basics.
1) There's a bug in Safari. When you tap a link that opens and takes you to a new page, the previous page (the one you just left) gets the link loaded as well. When you finish with the new page (close it) and try to get back to the original page, it loads the page you've just left, and the page history is wiped out so you can't go back using the left arrow. I've only had my iPhone a week and I've hit this too many times already. It's a real pain in the ass.
I'd also like it if there were an extra widget on the bottom Safari control bar that I could select before tapping a URL, to force a link to open in a new page. Like doing Command-Click in OSX's Safari. But that's a wish list item.
2) SMS needs to support sending to multiple recipients. I used this feature a lot before getting an iPhone.
3) Also the ability to erase individual comments from conversation streams is something I keep wanting to do. MMS I don't care about, though I know others do.
Those are the three most immediate short comings I would like to see addressed in 1.1.3
There are other things on my wish list for the future, like multi-calendar support. A well thought out ToDo list app that doesn't ape the other phones and look like it's been tossed in as an afterthought. And the ability to flag emails and do searches on them.
Having said that, a Disk Mode would be useful as I can dispense with having to carry around USB keychain drives all the time. I never seem to be able to find one when I need one too.

Spammer! I hate when I get these from people....oh, "Happy Thanksgiving" huh?, thanks for the ever-impersonal mass-text message jerk.

What if you're texting a sports team, and letting them know what day and time practice is? There's a lot of practical uses for multi person SMS other then spamming.
iPhone wants
1) Proper multi-calendar support with some color!
2) To Do support - I no longer use iCal's To Dos; I need them on my phone.
3) Manually manage songs and videos - like I can on my iPods (including the Touch)
4) Notes that sync with notes on my Mac
5) Better reception (O2 in UK - other phones work when iPhone can't; makes Apple - and me - look stupid)
That pretty much does it for me 😎

"Merry F'in Christmas, I just used up one of your SMS texts for the month schmuck!!!! Oh, what's this? New Years is next week too!!!!! MWAH-HA-HA-HA!!!!"

There are loads of things that I'd like my iPhone to do, but at the core of these there's a few things that I think any smart phone should do:
1. Copy & paste
1. Send SMS messages to multiple recipients
2. Send contact details via Bluetooth
3. Work as a Bluetooth modem
4. To do lists (syncing with iCal/Mail)
5. Notes syncing (with Mail)
6. Voice Command & Voice Synthesis
7. File browser (i.e. "Finder")
I really hope Apple sort these basics before getting on to fancy stuff.
As for Disk Mode, this is useless given that the iPhone only has 8GB, and the vast majority of users probably use all of that anyway. Disk Mode would only be interesting in combination with a File Browser (see above).
Just my personal opinion 🙂

Sorry, but you've just made a huge leap there. It doesn't mean that at all. Disk mode on the iPhone will most likely give you access to a sandboxed area to store files, it won't allow you to browse and modify the iPhone's OS/Music Store.
I.e. it won't work like a regular iPod does right now.

Agreed. What is the point of software updates if they continue to ignore what people are complaining about and want? I couldn't care less about disk mode, voice memos would be cool, but I would much rather have MMS, copy/paste, flash, or even some games.
For god sakes, MULTIMEDIA MESSAGING. Can we please take care of the basics before adding ********?
Any Treo or Palm convert is likely addicted to the general PDA features of
1. Notes
2. Task manager (to do list)
3. Copy and paste
I'd rather get MMS and Copy & Paste before Disk Mode.
Upgraded BT would be nice too, it would be nice to be able to send the photos I take via BT.

I really hope they add some kind of "select all" feature for the e-mail. Also, better support for Outlook contact groups.

File transfer.
This has been the single biggest issue, for me, with my iPhone - still requiring I also carry an iPod with me for such things. Lame.
While I'll believe it when I see it, this would make a very welcome addition to my iPhone experience.

I saw a guy give a Keynote presentation, connecting his iPhone to an overhead projector. He made some joke, something to the effect of "I hope I don't get a call during the presentation."
It was slick. And definitely a jailbroken iPhone.
This was before 1.1.2 was out.
1) send files (photos mainly) by bluetooth
2) A2DP
3) multisms
4) to dos and notes (anyone watch the iphone intro video, notes syncing is mentioned there...)
5) video capture

i used to have a windows mobile 5 pda, although it did crash a lot (typical)
id have thought keynote mobile would be too hard for a non-apple programmer to make that well and run fast enough...

afaik firewire isnt supported, and hasnt been for the last 2 or 3 ipod gens...
either youre being sarcastic, or you dont realise there are already mobile versions for all windows mobile smartphones/pdas:

i dont have that bug, never seen it on my iphone. but new tab option would be better. i think pressing and holding a link should open a new tab, rather than showing the url of the link...
hed probably exported from keynote as a mov or several image files he simply flicked through
id have thought keynote mobile would be too hard for a non-apple programmer to make that well and run fast enough...
Just give me a chance to edit documents .... eliminates a reason to carry a crack berry with me since my iphone is only an eye candy till i can do my work on it while i am on the road

Arrange e-mails by thread. I don't see why that's not there yet... iChat would be a welcoming addition as well.
Just a thought...
Anyone know of any current or planned function that would allow one to "beam" one's contact info to another iPhone? Many non-iphone devices have IR-based features like this and when they try to connect with iPhone using bluetooth, etc. it seems very difficult to do this. Should be easier to allow for more business use and to facilitate getting friend's contact info in...
