1. A quicker way to delete SMS
Press on the SMS icon at your spring board. For each SMS under "Text Messages", just slide through from left to right or right to left and the Delete icon will be displayed. Press on the delete button to delete the particular SMS.

2. Alternative way to add contact before SMS (Apis_LuaLua)
When writing new sms, instead of we tapping the "+" button to add contact for the recipient, all we need is just write contact name and the list of names will appear.

3. To immediately stop sending SMS while sending them (GaussSeidel)
When you press the "Send" button and realized that you want to cancel it, just press the "Sleep" or "Wake" button to lock your iPhone and immediately after that you unlock it back by pressing the same button n slide it. It will then show the same message you type just before you press the "Send" button.

4. Display new text messages when iPhone is locked
In Settings, choose General > Passcode Lock and tap to turn “SMS preview” on.

5. Emoji - Emoticons
If you’re looking to add emoticons to your iPhone or iPod Touch, you might be surprised it’s already built in. Emoji is very poplular in Japan and was added in firmware 2.2 and the catch is that it’s only available when your iPhone is set to Japanese language.

To enable Emoji for non jailbreak iPhone, refer to this thread http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/855700 or you can download/search Emoji applications in iTunes Appstore for free.

For jailbreak iPhones, you can download Emoji via Cydia through iSpazio repo.

When taking a picture with your iPhone, keep your finger on the shutter button, line up your shot, only then release the shutter button.

c. Good positioning to take self-portrait pictures (nokia2003)
If you can fit one and half eyes into the shiny apple logo at the back casing, you can be almost certain that you are on the right track to success!

d. If we want to silent the camera sound when taking pictures, we can do that by switching the phone to vibrate mode. this will mute the clicking camera sound. (credit: sanosizo)

Tap numbers and functions in Calculator just as you would with a standard calculator. When you tap the add, subtract, multiply, or divide button, a white ring appears around the button to let you know the operation to be carried out. Rotate iPhone to get an expanded scientific calculator.

1. Preview OSX
Preview has an Import function that allows you to grab images from various sources. If you choose, in Preview, File > Import Image while your iPhone is plugged in, will open a new window with all of the photos on your iPhone camera roll. You can then select photos and choose Import and the photos will open in Preview, thus allowing you to save or export photos from your iPhone without using iPhoto or Image Capture.

3. Headphone as remote for Keynote 09
Since the new MacBooks now receive input from the iPhone's headphones, you can use those headphones as a remote for running a presentation in Keynote '09:

One click starts the presentation.
Two clicks moves to the next slide.
Three clicks moves to the last slide.
[I haven't tested this one. Let me know via pm if this works.]

With iPhone 1.x and 2.x, you could hold down the Home button to “force quit” an application (kill the process) and return to the Home Screen. With iPhone 3.0, however, holding down the Home button now activates Voice Control on the iPhone 3GS.
So, how do you Force Quit under iPhone 3.0?

3) Select you message (got 1 dot at left side)

- This edit button also allowed you to delete specific sms message not like last time clear all message at once.

7. Keyboard special character
iPhone's virtual keyboard has also been updated with few more extra special characters while holding certain characters down similar to the ".com" button. In iPhone OS 3.0, when you hold down the "." you also get "...". The dash "-" also displays an em-dash "-" and quotations and apostrophes display "<<" and ">>" and can also be curved.
