With my last mobile phone, text messages I would receive would pop up on my Mac thanks to Apple's addressbook app and bluetooth. I could also compose/reply to text messages using my computer. It was a lot easier than pulling my phone out of my pocket to read and using the phone keyboard to write.
In a lot of ways sms has replaced IM for me. I wish I didn't have to switch to using a different device to use it while I am at my computer.
The only feature that the iPhone's bluetooth supports is headset. I am surprised Apple didn't include this feature. Perhaps it has something to do with the way iPhone organizes text messages into an iChat-esque interface. Ideally I would love to have iChat be able to display the messages on my phone so I could access the exact same data, in the same way, on both my phone or computer.
One can dream.
