All right, folks, post up some tips and tricks!

Button on top of the volume buttons on the side puts you in Silent mode.
Sometimes if you're trying to download an email with a large attachment, its already there even though it just keeps spinning... just go out to your inbox and back to the message, and the attachment shows right up.

HAHAHAHA. NICE 1~!

iphone works with most Alpine Car stereo units; using the KCE-422i. Fully controllable from stereo head-unit, without airplane mode on, interference can be heard, not sure if this can be stymied via shielding, or if its happening whithin the iphone. The iphone will also work with the older KCA-420i units. Also iTrip. Ok i'm done.

P.S. About time we talk about something other than damned rumors...maybe now this site is gonna start rollin.

Nice info.

P.S. Now we actually have iPhones. Easier to talk about iPhones when we have iPhones.

Feel free to offer up your insights as well.

Sigh.. nobody else? OK well this is more of a useless hint, but and VERY OVERLOOKED App that has lived on our macs for years...is ImageCapture! Use this app to select which app launches when devices with photo content is plugged in. Also while on the topic, ImageCapture has some amazing sharing features, you can actually share your iphone on your network...transfer and view any pictures you took on your phone. activate it in the prefs. go to http://yourcomputername.local.:5100/ (or just your LAN/private IP) and have fun!

another one, if your iPhone crashes hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home button for approx. 10 seconds to force reboot the iPhone if it freezes (usually happens in Safari with other things running in the background).

Tapping the top menu bar returns you to the top of whatever scroll area you're in. This is super useful when browsing forums in Safari

You don't need to press that cumbersome top-edge button to wake your home.. just use the home button!

They keyboard works in widescreen mode when you're using safari with the phone on its side

You're not limited to just tipping the phone to the left-- if it's more comfortable for you to look at photos or websites by putting the phone on its right edge or even upside down, that works too!

Google Reader launched an addition to its website that gives you an iphone-formatted interface by default when you go there with your iphone. Don't fool with clunky webapps, switch to google reader and bring all your sites to you!

In CoverFlow mode for your music, if you tap the absolute upper-left pixel on the display, you enter file-browsing mode where you can move/delete your music and photos.

It would seem very Apple like to release the next version with 3G around Christmas time.

Here's one I discovered this morning:
Under iPod -> more -> edit you can select the icons that appear at the bottom of the iPod app. Not lifesaving but cool. I wish u could customize all the buttons that way.
