Having MMS on a phone like this IS an important feature to have working at launch.

This only says something about AT&T, not about the iPhone.

iPhone does have MMS. I received MMS from iPhone users starting this summer. And I have screenshots of how my own MMS are displayed on the dark side. So yes, it works.

Benny, zehjotkah said to stop it with mms, you better listen or you might get in trouble.

Yes, on a non-jailbroken iPhone.
It's in their OS3.0 features list:

The 3rd party app (requires jailbreaking) was already available since last year or even before that: SwirlyMMS. I think it was one of the first few native iphone apps made available in the jailbreaking scene.

I don't use it, and neither does anyone in my circle... at least not in communications with me. Email and bluetooth exchanges, however, sure.

Well sending pics/vids via email, nothing hard about that, but not everyone uses/has email abilities on their phone.

Really that is all that has to be said about them.

I still use some of their CD's as coasters in my basement.

AOL, u say?

That's strange, there's this service called AOL Instant Messenger that a sh*t-ton of people use around the world, every day...

Must be a coincidence.

You can give people a link, but you can't make them read it....

Understood-- but apparently the target demographic for the N900 does.
