Do you forgive AT&T now that MMS is finally coming?

[JFSikora]

Title says it all... are you still holding a grudge against AT&T or have you been kind enough to forgive and forget?

[Jevangil]

Never really carried a grudge, just didn't use it. My wife has an iphone, also, so emails worked fine. Most people I know don't use MMS either, as they don't pay for messaging.

Like Jevangil, I don't really have a grudge to "forgive" them for. I think it was short sighted of them to not have it with the release of OS 3.0, but that's big business moving slowly for you.

No I don't forgive them. They should of had it ready for 3.0 and when 3.0 is released AT&T acts all clueless.

This is not about MMS, per se. Rather it is about AT&T discriminating among customers based upon the phone that they chose. Not only has that not changed, it shows little chance that it will.

I felt the same way when Palm discriminated among customers based upon the carriers that they chose.

I do not like "exclusive agreements" between phone vendors and carriers. I do not like SIMlocking. At some price, I should be able to use any phone that I like on any carrier that I like. Then it should be up to me to decide whether or not I am willing to pay that price.

I think that this kind of discrimination is bad business practice and I intend to keep saying so whenever I see it.

The lack of MMS was just one thing that angered AT&T customers and for some it was the only thing that angered them. So with it finally coming, thought it would be a good idea for those who actually did hold a grudge due to MMS. Or lack there of.

Perhaps. However, I hope that their customers do not give AT&T too much credit for undoing late what they should never have done in the first place.

I never had a grudge against AT&T. Never used MMS before. It will be nice that now I don't have to use that dumb website for the maybe 3 times a month friends send me an MMS. But AT&T's service is far better than the Tmobile service I left for the iPhone.

i never liked at&t, i switched from verizon for the iphone. the iphone makes me blind to her flaws!

[shutter]

I don't hold a grudge. The iPhone did not have MMS when i bought it, even so, I managed to have MMS for the majority of the time I owned an iPhone. On Sept 25th, I just get the option to call AT&T and ***** if it doesn't work

Getting mad about it would be like getting mad because the The DVD player I bought (knowing it only played standard DVDs) doesn't play blueray.

I was frustrated by the wait after it was announced, but nothing to hold a grudge over.
