Wishes for iPhone 3.0 Beta 3!!

It would be nice to have video capabilities in the Beta 3 or final version of 3.0.

MMS and internet tethering works fine for my 16 GB iPhone 3G on Roger's network work. You need to have the APN and carrier .ipcc files for them both to work though. These .icpp files are scattered around Macrumors in various threads. If anyone needs to the ones for Canada I can point them in the right direction if you PM me.
 
what apps do you guys think are the most buggy in beta 2. for me messages is still really bad. it was virtually unusable in beta 1, and in beta 2 they made it better, but it still has a lot of bugs. you guys agree?
 
Text Messaging needs lot of improvement

Now with Picture messaging, Apple should try to bring full MMS functionality to Messaging interface. Like include Clip art, Animations (Smileys), Audio, and small video clips along with Pictures.

Also, the MMS interface needs lot of improvement. For example, Sony Ericssons have great MMS interface. We should be able to save Drafts of SMS/MMS that we want to send later and preview option. Also, redialing should be made much easier.

Agreed. and for the me the send button should be a little bit bigger.
 
After a week with my iPhone 3G, I find that the phone could have been almost perfect (minus multi-tasking and camera/video) if only they made the 'PHONE' functions much easier.

I hope the new iPhone will have a green "Call button".

Call button should:
  • On one press should bring ALL recent calls and from there should have interface to see incoming, outgoing, missed calls. If a contact calls from his Cell, Home,Office numbers they should log seperately in logs so we can click on that number directly instead of going to more screen to dialing different number.
  • On 2 presses should redial last number. Obvious with above function.
Note: This won't be same as pressing Home button twice or Phone icon as this will have screen that has only call logs and option to move between All Calls, Incoming, Outgoing, and Missed calls.

Contacts should have option to display QWERTY or numeric keypad(T9 search) to search for names. And QWERTY should hide keys which don't have matching name. For example if I have "John Doe", "Peter James" as the only contacts that starts(first/last names) with "J" once I press "J" only "O" and "A" keys will be visible. There are already smart phones that do this and most GPS units.

Dial pad should enable T9 smart dialing. For example, when I press "5" any contact whose number starts with 5 or name starts with J or K or L should show up in list. All windows mobile phones, Blackberries, Nokia E-series, and most Sony Ericsson phones do this. This feature will be very helpful when one has 100s of contacts in their list. Unfortunately, the new search screen in 3.0 Beta 2.0 is not the same even when you select the search option to seach only contacts as it's a full QWERTY.
 
message cancel

I have always wanted to see a "cancel" button next to the progress bar while a message is sending.

And the option to save SMS/MMS as Draft so it can be sent later. Or is it already there and I am not seeing it?

yeah that always annoys me because if i accidently send the wrong person a text its already sent and i cant do anything about it
 
I wish for:

Cleaner UI graphics
A different location for the "Sending" bar in SMS
Center the text in the SMS field vertically. It's 1 pixel too high right now.
Narrower pop-up keys in the widescreen keyboard.
Drop Shadows on every key
Move the iPod icon back down by 1 pixel

The things that you are asking for are just stupid and picky to be honest with you. moving stuff down by 1 pixel is pathetic. the beta is out now anyway. Am currently installing

A better way to organize the 10 pages of apps that I've got. Right now I've arranged things so that the most used ones are on the home screen, and the rest are scattered across the other pages.

Maybe some sort of category / folder sort of arrangement, so that if I move an app onto one of these it goes in the folder; tapping on the folder opens it so show contents. There's room along the bottom for a control to close the current folder if the 4 app icons are squeezed a bit closer together.

+1 x 10000 After Copy & Paste, this is my biggest wish!
