Why not just NOT buy the iphone until jobs comes down to earth and includes this worldwide standard feature?

Just too bad that it doesn't work with all carriers. Alltel being one of them, although it may change, being that they were just bought out by Verizon.

I agree with the above poster, why not just add it. If this is a true multi media device, it should have it. Email is considered a business type feature. Most business smartphones have both. I'd actually like to know the reason why from the man himself. So many conferences and keynotes, yet I've yet to come across the developers speak up about the issue. I sure their reasons are jest, but them simply ignoring it and not giving the reasoning to the public is somewhat frustrating.

The more frustrating part is the incoming part of it.

This is the SMS address for VMUSA. The MMS address is xxxxxxxxxx@vmobl.com.

The only reason I can see wanting to have MMS on an Iphone is for those who have unlocked it and are using it without a data plan.

By this I mean if you send an email to someone with images attached, you have to let them know to check their email or wait until they get around to checking it. Given users can set up their phone to check every minute for new email but people have also learned that this drains the battery faster so they may have it set to download once an hour or other time intervals. With MMS it shows up on their phone shortly after you have sent it. I think most people keep their phones near them so when the phone recieves the MMS, it will do it's alert notice and the person will pick up the phone and check out the MMS. This is the biggest issue for me regarding the MMS, it's just more convenient than email.

That's the biggest complaint I have about being able to email -> phone. In fact, I started getting more spam about the time the thread was started, even though I have email to text ability turned off.

I did list that one and i did mention that it can be used to automatically find the correct carrier, but keep in mind that if u use the teleflix one then it will send a little advertisement with a link to their website with the mms email. also its a little faster i think if u know the specific carrier.
