Tips

If a call comes in and you want to mute your ringer, pressing the Sleep/Wake button or one of the volume buttons will immediately silence your phone. If you'd like to send a call directly to voicemail, you can press the Sleep/Wake button twice to decline it. You can also do this if you're wearing an iPhone headset by quickly pressing the microphone button twice.

Now you can selectively ignore people you don't want to talk to. Handy!

It was discovered not long ago that the new iPhone 2.0 Software enabled the playback of embedded YouTube clips for the first time, and now another feature has been uncovered. One of the iPhone's early drawbacks was it's inability to play voicemail files in the .WAV format from home phone services like that of Vonage or AT&T. Independent developer TJ Louma was actually working on a script to solve this problem and was 95% finished when he discovered that the new firmware added this feature on it's own.

Tips

The iPhone makes voicemail super easy. From recording an outgoing message to listening to new voicemails, it just works. The only thing is, recording an outgoing message never turns out just right because it's being recorded through iPhone's tiny microphone. The way around it - upload a custom outgoing message to your iPhone.
