Word is out on the street that iPhone 2.0 will be coming next year, and as someone who didn't get one the first time around, I'm excited.

Since I was advised against getting an iPhone by some trusted advisers, I've made a list of the things I need in an iPhone before I decide to make (what could be) a costly switch.

  1. Calls Over Wi-Fi
    I don't get cell phone service in my house — what if I buy an iPhone and it doesn't work in here, either? The iPhone is smart enough to switch to WiFi when you're surfing the Web. Do the same for voice calls.
  2. Calls Over Skype
    Skype is an important communication method for a lot of people — there's no reason you shouldn't be able to use it on an iPhone.
  3. More Storage
    This one seems the most likely, based on presumed more flash memory and time to make the battery last longer. The two versions available, 8GB and 16GB, are good starts, but they're not replacing my iPod.

What are you looking for in iPhone 2.0? What would make you switch?
