@Mr. Ski

There’s one screenshot of the UK MMS app along with my review here: http://www.allaboutiphone.net/2009/01/mms-native-app-storms-the-app-store/

Plus you can get lots of details at the developer’s site here: http://iphonemms.net/

cheers

If it’s being allowed in another country under another service provider it seems like at@t would be the culprit not apple, it would at least be nice to know the true reason, the whole email is better reason I’m not buying, this is a mobile device, mms is standard on the majority

Email is more universal than mms. Maybe other phone carriers should switch to email. Supporting old or obsolete things will not stimulate newer technologies.

As someone else said, we’ve got a MMS app in the UK. Unfortunately, you have to pay to send messages (receiving them is free) which is very frustrating as I’ve got 500 texts and unlimited data in my monthly plan. Still, maybe Apple will start to take notice of these MMS apps and include this functionality in a (not too distant) future update.

I know several people who SMS and MMS. However, they NEVER send any to me because they know better. I have IM and email for written communication… my phone number is for PHONE CALLS!!!

i don't know. the reason i have mms on my iPwn is sadly because other phones stubbornly and ignorantly make it hard for regular joes to set up their e-mail accounts.

quip is a good alternative to sending pics to other phones but it doesn't go through half the time.

apple's just way too advanced for their own good sometimes i guess. but it's cool. until all phone manufacturers get the memo that e-mail is way better (and get over the fact that it's free) then i will have to keep jailbreaking and getting mms's.

I have enjoyed my apple products mostly because, unlike other co., apple is and has been willing to wait for an app to be perfect before releasing it to use with their products. It just works. And your right Mikeed, people really need to stop complaining about what they don't have.

Mms is a good example of this. Mms ,IMHO, is an addiction that really is no longer needed. Most phones can send free emails. Why pay to be able to receive tiny pics???

My iPhone has been fun, useful, and it just works. I do not want a half tested app to screw that up?

i never take things too seriously and neither should u. =D

to be honest i was scared to death to jailbreak my phone. it was like a rollercoaster ride for me. waiting in line for a ride is the scariest part of all but during the act it was like the best adrenaline rush ever and i couldnt go back to a virgin iphone ever again.

im not urging ppl to jailbreak, rather asking politely for virgin users to please stop whining about what apple wont ever give u if u're not willing to take the risk and take it for urself.

hope i raised a rather valid point now chobbs. ur approval is all i could ever seek after all. =]
