So you think Apple should have made the rest of the world wait for MMS on the iPhone because AT&T in America wasn't ready?

I just hope that the wait for MMS pays off. I'd rather be upset about having to wait, than upset about it not working right. But if it ends up not working right when released anyway... I'll be very upset. I don't think there's going to be issues though.

At this point I have to seecit to believe it. The 3.1 looks like a very nice update.

Yes since we had to wait hopefully its perfect.

So now my other question is will this type of MMS have no limit on data?

Since MMS has always sucked anyway due to compressing pics, would the iPhone do
the same?

You can get one of the carrier updates that are out there now and you should have mms the day it is released, without having to update to 3.1 prior to a jailbreak being released.

The iPhone already compresses pics for email, mms will be the same. AT&T is going to have caps on the size, like they do with all other phones and mms, for most of the smart phones the cap is between 300 and 600 kb. Where you will run into issues is sending images to "dumb" phones and phones on other networks with smaller caps.

Finally , now I can stop telling everyone to email me the photo

I am excited I just purchased an app to send pics but not receive. But I'm loving the phone and trying to like at&t

So ATT ****ed up big time. And to think they lost the trust of ALL of their customers (they FLAT OUT LIED as to the release date) because they can't release it 3 days sooner (when its still technically summer, which is still stretching it a bit)? Really?

Let's see how many people stay around once they are given the choice to leave.

MMS picture quality is actually a bit higher than using the email share compression, 1024x768 vs 800x600.

The big downside is video. When emailing videos they can be as big as 15MB, so you send a decent looking 1 min clip to someone via email right from the phone, but the ~500KB limit kills videos on MMS.

You have to have a second AT&T phone to get MMS via the carrier update, correct - has to do w/putting the iPhone SIM in an older phone w/MMS, doing something on the website, yada yada? I think I've read about this, but the problem is that my iPhone is my only AT&T phone (and actually, my only phone period!)
