Lesser known features of iPhone firmware v1.1.3

iPhone 1.1.3

Everyone knows the flagship features of iPhone v1.1.3: the little jiggling icons, web clips on the home screen, and multiple SMS messages. But more has been added to the iPhone than meets the eye. To begin with, SMS limit upped from 1000 to 75,000. If you are writing more than 75,000 SMS messages in a month, you really need some help. The keyboard also allows multiple inputs now. So for example, you can hold Shift + a letter to make it a capital. And for all those Gmail iPhone users, be sure to note that Gmail is now set to IMAP by default, so if you delete something from you phone, it will be deleted everywhere across your Gmail account. Something that other iPods have been able to do for awhile is manually manage their content. You can now manually manage music and videos on your iPhone as well, as long as you have iTunes 7.6. Finally, music lyrics and movie chapter and subtitle support has been added. Most likely, these won’t be the things that cause you to upgrade to the new release, but they are nice things to have.
