Just my two cents' worth...

I notice a lot of folks are rather elitist about MMS. I have a daughter in Florida who likes to stay in touch by sending me pics of things she is doing and things that are going on in her life. She has a little $49 piece of garbage that can do that. I, with my big-time Iphone, have been unable to send or receive those bits of info, and that is VERY important to me and my wife. MMS is a way of staying in touch easily and efficiently with family members around the country. So yes, it is important, and it's about time (actually years late) that AT&T step up and stop treating us like second-class citizens. They might re-read the old story about the "golden goose".

serious question: why did you get an iPhone if MMS and keeping in touch with your daughter that way is so important? surely you knew that MMS was not available and wouldn't be for a while.

I completely agree. It's not that AT&T/Apple claimed they had MMS yet didn't deliver. Customers knew that this feature was not offered yet customers still purchased it.

If you "relay" on MMS, don't get the iPhone.

Maybe they would "relay" the picture via email and not "rely" on MMS on the iPhone?

Why not have her phone EMAIL the pics to you? All MMS phones can send to an email address.

Additional question I had was for the first two generations of Iphone apple said they didn't find MMS important? (I even saw a youtube video blasting someone that said E-mail was better).

I think this was the video if memory serves.
