iPhone 3G v2.0 Missing Features

Now I'm a big usability head and think the iPhone really is the bees knees, but I've worked in mobiles for a while now and been a gadget freak too. So there are a few basic features missing from the iPhone, and some not so basic ones.

So here, due to popular demand, and in no particular order, is a list of iPhone Missing Features!

* no MMS
* no bluetooth transfer of contacts/items to other devices
* no sms drafts
* no sms forwarding
* no video recording
* no video streaming (youtube is not streamed, it's "progressive download")
* no deleting of photos, songs sync'd from iTunes
* and of course - no cut & paste!

All the above can be fixed in a future software releases.

Addressing the following missing features require a hardware upgrade:
* higher megapixel camera
* auto-focus camera lens
* light or flash
* no video calling (front camera required, video iChat anyone?)

I'm sure there are more to add. Let me know what you think.
