Im missing out on my parents pictures from their visit in India atm... my other relatives get them, sony ericsson and iphones there.. . ;-) .. I would love to see MMS.

Asking my mom to hook up the phone in a computer somewhere and email them is out of the question.. .

talking about the push nature of mms and the poll of email...
yes thats a feature i want to see implemented asap way way before mms.. its imap-idle support i miss it compared to profimail on my E90...

then email is instant and will consume way less power then polling like a mad man..

stupid thing is that i hear that previous versions of modest had support for it, but it is disabled on purpose!

We need 3G Video Calls!!!
I cant believe we have the hardware (front cam) and no software for it!!

Bingo. Nokia has only a few more days, if not weeks to announce this before some other company does.

Google has huge plans Google Voice that include potentially including video calls on mobile clients. Apple is more than likely going to finally debut a video enabled version of iChat for mobile clients.

All speculation, but video calls is very high on my list.

I doubt Google will be released this year. That would run the bandwidth usages too high.

Not in the U.S. :-(

But on the flip side, there's web sites that will send texts and MMS for free because the receiver has to pay to receive them.

Which is another reason why in the U.S. you can text almost anyone for free by sending a short message to an email address, e.g., xxxxxxxxxxx@vtext.com where xxx is the mobile number.
