iPhone 4 - Send SMS from desktop

    Switching from a Nokia N8 to an iPhone 4 and trying to figure a way to send an SMS from my Windows 7 x64 laptop.

    With the N8, I installed "Ovi Suite" which has a messaging window where I can send and receive SMS messages through the phone which is connect with a USB cable.

    Is there any such software (be great if it was built into iTunes) where I can attach the phone to the laptop, using the USB cable, and send/receive messages?

    I have a VNC server installed on my phone and by using ultraVNC I can have my phone on my pc where I can send text messages from.
