For all you college student lawyer wannabees I am sure you are aware that there is a difference between wiretapping (recording the phone calls of your family, friends or neighbors) and recording a conversation YOU are having with another party. I am not a lawyer nor do I play one on TV but some of you are actually thinking about WIRETAPPING laws and not recording your own phone conversations.

Copied from here: http://www.privacyrights.org/fs/fs9-wrtp.htm#wt4, here is one of hundreds of examples from a simple Google search:
Federal law allows recording of phone calls and other electronic communications with the consent of at least one party to the call. A majority of the states and territories have adopted laws based on the federal standard. But 12 states, including California, require the consent of all parties to the call. These are are California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, and Washington. For a state-by-state guide to taping laws, including a discussion of federal law and references to caselaw, see the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press guide, www.rcfp.org/taping/ .

My Nokia n95 could do it, before I replaced it with an iPhone.

Would be great to have the function back... conference calls etc... keeping records of phone orders... blah blah

Wiretapping, as you've described within this thread is a violation of Title 18 United States Code SS.2510 (Title 18, U.S.C.SS.2510). So, it's a federal statute in the United States.
I believe there's an exception for conversations recorded in one-party consent states.
