I agree about the limited space for typing, but I wish I could at least tilt the phone on its side when reading emails.
Why should this be either-or situation? Why couldn't they do both? And what makes you think that the people improving the calculator know anything about Bluetooth?
O.T. but I always find it amusing when I see that you can "enable" parental control on a $499 cellphone...
I mean, there must be some parents that likes to buy expensive gifts for their kids but a $499 cellphone... geez
I can tell you mines will wait until they get 18...

I'll buy/download one if I have to, but I hope they just include RPN in the stock calculator app (like OSX). It's not a big deal, but it would be nice.
There is one feature that I would love to have added to 2.0....
The ability for your iPhone to ring through the Mac's speakers if a call comes through while the iPhone is in the dock charging.
I miss way too many calls at night because I have my iPhone plugged into my PowerMac G5 in the Home Office which is at the other end of the hallway from our living room. While watching TV at night, I can hear when I get a new MAIL message, but I can't hear my iPhone ring while charging because of the iPhone's speaker being buried in the bottom of the dock.
I don't even care if it is a small check box in iTunes that enables this, I just need to be able to hear the iPhone ringing while it is charging/syncing.
A cool addition to this feature is if you have an Apple TV, make it work like Digital Phone for a cable company! Have Apple TV pop up a caller ID window if you are watching something via Apple TV and someone calls your iPhone while it is plugged into the main Mac of the set up.

I don't have the parental controls enabled, but I do let my 5 year old watch You Tube on my phone when we are waiting for a plane or in a doctors office. So I suppose a parent could use parental controls when loaning the phone to their kids.
Of course my kids won't be getting their own iPhones for many years
This is good and all, but lets all remember this firmware version is still in beta, and some features may not make it to 2.0 final. However, all of these features could make the final version, plus more! - here's hoping.
Really like multiple delete/edit in Mail, but I won't be needing that horizontal view in calculator.
I will be a regular customer in the Wifi App Store, obviously.

A good full function calculator is pretty important if Apple is trying to make the case to businesses that the iphone is THE mobile tool they should buy for their employees.
App Store and iTunes Store, as well as Installer.app, are derivative of YouTube UI more than anything. Featured icon, as well as few other icons, are from YouTube.Did anyone else notice how similar the AppStore looks like installer.app? The Featured icon on the left is exactly the same..
I'd almost say Apple was looking at installer.app when they made the AppStore
the calculator is nice, but aren't the period and @ symbol new on the main keyboard page? http://www.engadget.com/photos/iphone-firmware-2-0-hands-on/705043/
and i know they implemented the space bar so it would act like a blackberry but still this seemingly minor addition is really nice to have

One function that would be very nice is construction functions on the calculator. It would be so nice to pull out your iPhone on the job and convert ft. to in. to decimal ft., etc., and do arithmetic functions such as finding the travel on an offset or vice versa and other construction related functions.

Just to clarify, installer.app was actually copying the youtube app ("featured icon") when they were creating it.
Perhaps the new Calender button is for updating an Exchange-based (?) shared calendar or a XML calender (such as Google Calendar) streamed in iCal? That way you can refresh the calendar and always have the latest updates?
Engadget should try that out.

i just find the "no button in calendar view doesn't do anything yet" kinda funny. wonder what it will be.
totally stoked for multiple email delete. dude, that gets old going one by one.
as for the wish list . . . sure would like copy/paste and hard disk mode . . . with ability to store a document, call it up, edit it, save it. to edit documents on my bus/train/plane rides . . . woah, i'd save an hour each day!!

Point taken!
But would you really bother switching parental control on before letting them watch Youtube or even loaning them your phone?

The New Calendar Button...
Is it not the 'notifications' button? the same one that exists in iCal?...

I wonder if parental control for the App Store is a way to disable App Store access completely, and not a way to limit what you can shop for in the App Store.
I also wonder why base 10 log and natural log ln have their positions reversed from Mac OS X Calculator.app. Perhaps to put ln nearer e^x, but why isn't Calculator.app that way already?

Or the calendar button is to pull email from server if you don't want auto update for you exchange items. That is my logical guess, but we will see.
EDIT: If probably becomes available if there is mail on the server and then you can take action to download. Combination of what previous poster said and my thoughts.

The scientific calculator is a must have application. RPN would be cool. Programmable would be even better.
I wonder if contacts could be by folder (personal, business 1, business 2)
Adding folders to mail is a must have feature. Filtering incoming mail to those folders would be even better.
As I have been saying for about a year now, this is a palmtop supercomputer with a phone and iPod application running on it (and a few others). Hold on tight, it's about to become "insanely great".
