4.3 Upgrade - Message Reminders

Question

So, I've never been that impressed with my iPhone 4.
'WOW, Facetime!'
There were phones that did that in 2003, and they didn't need Wi-Fi!
Anyway, one of the features I like is that when I got a text, but didn't read it, the phone reminded me after 5 minutes. If I still didn't read it, it would remind me 30 mins later.
Now, unless I am mistaken after the 4.3 upgrade I only have the option for it to remind me every two minutes.
Let me give you some examples of how frustrating this is.
I am driving and get a text.
2 minutes later, the phone buzzes again, but I am driving, as I was 2 minutes ago.
2 minutes after than, it buzzes again, guess what I'M STILL ******* DRIVING, JUST LIKE I WAS 2 MINUTES AGO AND 2 MINUTES BEFORE THAT.
Another example
I am cooking, cutting chicken, so have raw chicken on my hands.
I get a text, but don't check it because I have raw chicken on my hands.
2 minutes later, the phone buzzes again, but I have chicken on my hands, as I did 2 minutes ago.
2 minutes after than, it buzzes again, guess what I STILL HAVE RAW CHICKEN ON MY ******* HAND, JUST LIKE 2 MINUTES AGO AND 2 MINUTES BEFORE THAT.
Another example
I am playing a racing game on my Playstation.
I get a text, but don't check it because I'm busy racing.
2 minutes later, the phone buzzes again, but I am racing, as I was 2 minutes ago.
2 minutes after than, it buzzes again, guess what I'M STILL ******* RACING, JUST LIKE I WAS 2 MINUTES AGO AND 2 MINUTES BEFORE THAT.
5 minutes, then 30 minutes is amazing timing. Who has ever finished in 2 minutes what they were so busy doing they couldn't check their text?

With regards to video calling on mobile handsets,
"In Japan, two competing projects were run by Sharp and Kyocera in 1997. Both had cell phones with integrated cameras. However, the Kyocera system was designed as a peer-to-peer video-phone ..."

The UK, Europe and Australia got mobile handsets that were capable of video calls over 3G networks in 2003 when the network Three launched

Two examples of the phones that were able to make video calls include the Motorola A920 and the NEC e606.
In 2004 Nokia released the 6630 which had a rear facing camera that could be used for video calling (3GPP video streaming) and it was succeeded by the 6680 which had a front facing camera.
