You sure you're using iPhone? I know you can't individually delete SMS, which is a hassle, but can actually batch delete them. Maybe you wanna actually use the device first before making comments about them. Just a thought

OT: You are leaving your kingdom unattended; prepare to be attacked by my knights
My favorite feature is the fact that I have to listen to music and take calls using crappy earbuds because Apple is too paranoid to give us A2DP.
Other than that, SMS, internet and e-mail in one handy device that isn't powered by M$? Solid.

There's so much things on the iPhone that rock. From the form factor to the user interface. But for me, there's three 'killer' features on this device: the awesome desktop class Safari, email & the killer iPod.
I'd have to say Google Maps. Not so much as a map function but more as a 411 service. Its great being able to type in any store or even category and get addresses, phone numbers and websites for everything in my area. Priceless if you ask me. A VERY close second is the Internet.
I cannot shrink my list of iPhone favorite features to one, sorry:
WiFi to my own DSL. Quick internet hits without having to wake a laptop.
Size of the screen. It's perfect for watching movies. Subtitles are legible!
Ability to make the home screen page(s) look the way I want them. I love being able to move buttons that I rarely or never use off the first page, and sticking bookmarks for my favorite news websites on the front page.
Killer iPod functionality (as long as you're not driving a car). I especially love ability to flip from a playlist to coverflow just by turning the thing sideways, Also the touch-screen-to-toggle feature is great for how it will fetch or hide the tracklist and the virtual buttons for scrubbing, repeat, shuffle (and in movie mode, the volume adjustment, play-pause and movie chapters as well). All that keeps the look of the screen so clutter-free, and lets the artists' work shine.
Manual sync: The ability to manually manage content is so important if you have a huge library of stuff. Even with podcasts, everyone has his own way of wanting to manage them.
The external speakers: not fantastic audio but a whole lot handier than carting around some microspeaker solution for when you just want to hear the audio in the room instead of through earbuds. I love watching videos, video podcasts, rental movies again before they expire, and I often like not to bother with earbuds for stuff like a video news podcast.
(I'm afraid I do mentally ding my iPod touch one star for not having external audio, because my iPhone spoiled me).
Contacts and calendar syncs. I finally bother with them because they work.
Notes. NOTES. A grocery list that always makes the trip with me, unlike some of the pencilled ones I've created and left in the kitchen.
More spacious than I had thought (and I have a lot of different-capacity iPods). The 8Gb iPhone holds more of what I want for on-the-go in a smartphone and video/audio player than I thought it would. I have settled into a routine of how much audio and short video to stash on there so I always have room for a movie, a couple dozen more audio tracks and a few more video podcasts. I like changing a little of the content out on a whim and it doesn't take long to get done.

Google Maps has to be the best
I go to manhattan alot and with the phone I always know where to go and where the subways are. Also, typing in the name of a store brings up a website and phone number of the store which is also great.

I am referring to my iPod touch but it is the same with an iPhone.
The accuracy and usability of the touch and multi-touch features. The complete awesomeness and fun-to-use-ness of the UI.

I love safari. I don't use my mac half as much as i used to. I used to come home from work and catch up with all the news and mac rumors. Now I do it during work. Lol.

Now if only they would put nutrition into the food.
I wouldn't know about the service in McDonald's, since I haven't been in one in years. I value my health.
MacDryCleaner- McDonald's is a horrible choice. They are borderline evil, pushing their cheap-to-produce, low quality, low in nutrition, high-fat and high-cholesterol crap they call food onto little kids so they grow up obese and diabetic.
/step off soapbox..... now
I've already posted my favorite features, but.....
I loved that I was able to take my iPhone to the beach today, browse the web a little, listen to the iPod, and make a few phone calls, all while I was relaxing on my sun-chair in the sand and enjoying a freshly squeezed lemonade.
Venice beach was nice today.....
Hands-down my favorite feature is the internet accessibility through either WiFi or EDGE. Absolutely brilliant!
Another feature which I especially appreciate is that the iPhone has its own speaker(s) within so that I can play my music or a YouTube video without needing to plug in headphones/earbuds.

For me it is the convergence offered by the iPhone that is my favorite feature. I used to carry two things with me all of the time, cell phone and Palm T|5. Sometimes I would add my iPod as well. Now, I can just carry one device instead.
There are many, many, many features about the iPhone that I love, but if I had to nail down one thing that I like about it, the feature that counts for more than any other as the reason that I bought the thing...
...is it's syncing ability.
I've had a handful of SE phone before which always synced with my Address Book and calendar well...but no phone I've tried has been able to sync as well and as much as the iPhone. As with the iPod, it is the way which it interacts with the computer which drew me in.
Oh, and as far as service at fast food restaurants go, nothing consistently beats the service and attitude that the people at Chick-fil-a provide.
