Wow, congrats you can take those great pics but can't send them to anyone. What a joke and wtf is up with no video capture? What a rip off.

Is that your defense concerning the exclusion of this feature that I am sure many many people use. There is absolutely no excuse for Apple to leave this feature off, and your statement was very fanboyish and somewhat childlike. I expect more from you, as you are a charter member of this forum.

I'm neither a fan of the iPhone nor the new at&t. I sell Verizon Wireless.

But I thought it was funny that suddenly people care about MMS just because it's not on the iPhone. MMS is a failure in the US market.

Anyways, you can always just attach the files on an e-mail without the 300k file size limit you get on an MMS.

Its a big deal when we lose something we are accustomed to having. I would ask that you present facts, when stating that MMS is a failure in the US market.

My SE's dont have a 300kb limit when it comes to sending MMS. Some of my friends and myself send each other msgs as large as 475kb.

MMS packages used to be sold separately and now they are not

for example, the old MEdia Basic had separate allowances for SMS and MMS

overages for MMS are higher than SMS but besides that, there is no difference in the amount carriers can charge for them in bundles

would you pay more to sent an MMS compared to what you pay to send an SMS?

But the network PHONES are not handicapped by corporate greed are they?

Give me a Sim carded unlocked GSM phone over any CDMA perfect service phone any day.

Let me get this right,

You rather have an unlocked phone, a phone that is not handicapped, and a sim ina a networks dead area, (IE phone will not operate due to no signal) Than get a phone that will work in your area.

You might wanna get in touch with Apple and let them know that.

It does not have innate MMS capability according to all the info released thus far.

I've read the manual and I don't buy it. It may be legit, but probably isn't. The person posting it claims to have no ties to apple nor at&t... so how did they get it?

It's also funny that their personal email address is stamped over every page. Looks like a clever viral marketing idea.

🤣

Perhaps you will find Engadget to be a reliable source with their article titled "iPhone's missing iChat, MMS, etc. coming via software updates?"

Nope, I read their site too. It's rumors and nothing official.

I'm not saying it isn't true, but I'm saying I won't lend faith to any rumor out there because of the hype on this device. There is so much crap floating around out there that you can't pick the truth from the gossip.

Not to mention, apple has yet to rule out user created widgets and such.

I don't think it's all rumors when some of the information came from/was addressed in Steve Jobs' WWDC keynote speech.

True, but engadget posted that "leaked" manual as well which I'm highly suspect of. Just because they have verifiable sources for some of their information does not mean all of it should be taken as such.

They're not like some tabloid magazine or something, but I'm even taking the information handed down by at&t as suspect. I'm still expecting one or two last minute changes before it hits stores in two days.

That and there could always be a firmware/software update that enables some of the features.

The manual is the same thing all COR sales reps got in our stores. It's real.

And it's also proprietary information. I hope they found whoever leaked it and canned them.
