    I know a lot of people who think bluetooth is only for headsets and can only use it for headsets. I could be standing next to a person and I would rather MMS a picture than bluetooth so I don't have troubleshoot their phone for bluetooth capabilities.

    I would definitely agree there.

    If the iPhone can survive not having MMS in the first year with THEIR target audience, it should matter even less for N900 and their more tech-savvy audience.

    The first iPhone didn't even have 3G for crying out loud.

    I'm sure you can find much better IP based data transfer system with all the mashup of tech available nowadays and make use of the WiFi and 3G to accomplish the task.

    PS: Is there email-to-MMS service somewhere, maybe?

    Understood, but I tend to avoid those situations.

    Different use cases for different users to be sure. It remains to be seen how much negative impact Nokia's MMS decision will have on N900 launch success.

    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 understand.. How are you able to send mms but everyone else can't? Are you on at&t?

    I'm not sure, but I'm under the impression that pretty much everyone else in the world can send MMS messages with an iPhone except AT&T users.

    You got it backward

    Everyone (the rest of the world) can use MMS on iPhone OS 3.x by default, except AT&T users
    Some people could bypass the AT&T 'lock' though. There are tricks to do it.

    If I was to guess, and this is only a guess, it would be that not all of the equipment in AT&T's network is fully MMS standards compliant, or god forbid, the bastards at AT&T disabled MMS capability for iphone.

    Ok so the answer to my question was "No I'm not on AT&T"? The confusion is my fault I guess cause I was going under the assumption that you were on at&t and sending mms with an iphone which as of now is impossible.

    So if I am 40 something, am I in or out of the target demographic?
