What is missing from the new iPhone 3G S?

So now that all the new sexy hardware and software has been announced, we can now focus on what was not announced for the new iPhone 3GS:
Same Case/Body – The biggest thing that wasn’t announced for me was a redesign of the case. I was really hoping that Apple would have moved to a soft back like the Storm has. While I have already added my own case to provide that, it would be nice if it was built in
No glowing Apple logo – I am so glad this rumor is not true! I could not imagine having something as silly as a glowing logo on my phone, and lets not even get started on how that would affect the battery.
No screen improvements – I was really looking forward to some improvements to the screen as this could have helped with some of the battery issues, but maybe they are holding this back for the next version
No color selection - No big loss here thanks to skins and cases, but I am sure some people would have liked to have the iPhone in various colors
No Verizon deal – Looks like we will have to continue to wait to see if the iPhone eventually lands with Verizon. Based on what I have read so far today, there are a lot of Apple fans who are just flat out pissed with AT&T right now, so it will be interesting to see what happens here
No camera flash, or front facing camera – I have a feeling this will stay on the wish list for a lot. I think we would see a front facing camera before a flash, but no one really knows
Adobe Flash support – I think for this one we can blame Adobe, but again we will have to wait and see. The nice thing about this feature is they can add this through a software update.
Wireless N – Another nice to have and I assume this will be in the next revision.
What feature do you really wish they would have announced?
