iPhone and MMS/Email on T-Mo

Been searching around and can't really find the answer I'm looking for, so going to just post it and hopefully someone can tell me. 
My friend is interested in getting an iPhone and unlocking/jailbreaking it. He is on T-Mobile and plans to use it with T-Mo. My questions are:
1) If someone sent him a MMS to his phone, does it just not come in, or does it come in to his phonenumber@tmomail.net and show up as an email?
2) What is the quality of the image? Is it resized since the iPhone isn't an "authorized" phone on T-Mobile? I've had the problem with other, unlocked GSM phones on T-Mobile where I would receive a MMS and the image was resized to almost thumbnail size because the phone wasn't one of the authorized phones on the website.
Hope someone can help me out with these two questions so I can get him off my back already lol. Thanks a lot in advance!

Whether it's sent to his phone number or tmomail, it just won't show up. If he wants MMS, there is an app available called Swirly MMS. However, it's a POS.
If his friends can just use his regular email address, he'll be able to access pictures that way. They might be resized to fit the screen, but that'll still make the picture 2 or 3 times larger than on a normal phone. If they're sending a pic taken on a RAZR, it's always going to look like small crap.
He can use the $5.99 T-Zones w/proxy for internet and email access (well, incoming at least).

So it wouldn't do like AT&T does and send you a text saying you've received a picture message and to retrieve it you have to log in to a website to get it? I know T-Mo has a similar website cause from time to time I get a text saying that when someone sends me a MMS on my Curve.
