MMS, what is it with this anyway. The last couple of mobiles I've used had MMS, and it was useless, everyone I sent an MMS still had to log onto the internet to pick it up. I even sent the wife, who had the same phone & same provider, and it still only gave her a link to a website. And to top it all off, most providers charge a fortune to send them, last time I looked it was 50p (yeah, I'm sure they are cheaper ones, but you get my point). Erm, Email is free & when your phone contract has unlimited data, it just makes the whole point of MMS useless. I'd rather Apple spent there time implementing the push protocol, so things like Palringo can work in the background, rather than wasting time implementing a protocol that has a limited lifespan. I could understand if it was SMS, but MMS. Yuck!!.

Well personally MMS is wonderful

My brother lives quite a way away with his young daughter and, due to the MMS functionality on the phone, me & my parents are able to see how she's growing up and those kind of moments that you just gotta have a camera for to be able to catch it. Plus when he was in America and I was in Cornwall and our folks were in Spain it was the MMS that meant we all could see the great views/whatever else - it's quick & easy (my mum can send an MMS without any problems - an e-mail from her phone she hasn't a clue about)

I hope mobile email replaces MMS because I think it makes more sense. However, MMS should still be available to iPhone customers as 'legacy' support, IMHO, as tonnes of people I know don't have email on their phone. So, while they can MMS-to-email me pictures, I can't send them pictures back. Just a little app in the App Store that could add some basic MMS functionality would be fine.

Oh, also, it'd be nice if O2 would let us configure an email address for MMS messages we receive to be automatically sent to. Rather than the stupid 'visit x page to view this image' text.

For those of you struggling to see the benefits of MMS because it is received as a link to visit a website, it's simply because your SIM card / number has not had MMS enabled by the network. The 'log into a website to view the picture' service is an alternative to those with old handsets who cannot receive the MMS or those who don't have it enabled.

Give your network a call (or ask the recipient who gets the link) to ensure that MMS has been activated on the SIM and phone. So long as the settings are in place for their phone, the MMS service is very useful. You can even compose long text messages via MMS that don't cost as much (~15p) as multiple SMS' and are great for people who can't receive e-mails.

Personally I wish the iPhone could make video calls but I'm probably the second person in the country who uses that service.

Well I've not got anything against the I-Phone getting MMS, but for me if they could get the push protocol implemented, and it maybe be possible for somebody create an MMS App, but without the push protocol an MMS App is not that great. Maybe this is Apple's idea, get the push protocol implemented, and they themselves might use this to implement native MMS.
