I can't figure out how to measure the length of a phone call on the iPhone. When I go to the recents, it shows me when the call originated, but now how long the call lasted. Anyone figure out how to track the length of a call after it's been placed?

I was looking for this the other day as well. If it's there, I have not found it, but being as nothing is really "hidden" on the phone, I just don't think it's available to track the length of calls. Maybe that will be another part of the new update??

The facility is definitely there as it can tell you your total call time. I imagine they just didn't include that information in the current version of the built-in utility. It is, however, all stored in a regular database and so should be pretty easily accessible. I know that someone recently installed Django on their iPhone and was able to use it to modify their call database and add/remove calls that had been placed. I don't remember if it was mentioned, but I'm sure that also included the ability to view/change call times. So it shouldn't be difficult at all to whip together an app that shows the calls with the call times.

When you hack your iphone to get at its file system, are you also able to view the recorded voicemails that are locally stored on the phone? I've been looking for a way to save these as audio files on my mac but wasnt sure if this was possible yet. Anyone?

They're stored in /var/root/Library/Voicemail. I currently have two voicemail messages, and there are three files in there: 1.amr, 2.amr, and voicemail.db. I'm sure you can guess what each is.

Yea, just use Cyberduck or any other sftp client to browse the file system and pull the .amr files off the phone onto your computer. They will open and play in Quicktime Player just fine.

That information does appear in the database that the iPhone uses. When I look at the call log backed up to iTunes using MobileSyncBrowser (you can find it on version tracker) the time of each call in minutes is part of the information displayed.
For any that don't know MobileSyncBrowser is an OS X program that looks at the iTunes databases that the iPhone stores on your computer (with each sync) so that you can look at or archive your call log, SMS messages, and notes.
