i am loving it after the update... i can soooo save.. and i am with at&t so i dont have to choose my connection everytime haha.. thanks to the genius (genius's) behind this...
The problem with auto-connect is maintaining two connections at once, i.e. don't disconnect the user from the currently active connection
I think to disconnext the user from the current connection would be OK if presented properly in the GUI. ("You are about to send/receive an MMS. This will close all your current internet connections. Proceed? [Yes] [No]")
The more severe problem is that you probably should make sure that once the MMS-specific connection is established, other applications don't use it to, say, update RSS feeds in the background or fetch mail. - I remember I heard that using the wrong access point for you carrier could lead to a massive bill, even if you have a flat rate.
Also, it may confuse other apps when they think they're online but cannot reach servers through the proxy set on the AP.

Hang on. That's not quite acceptable. Every modern mobile phone can send/receive MMS seamlessly and that *must* be the case with N900 at some point in the future too. Seamless GPRS connection in Maemo definitely is possible. Example: when I connect my N900 with my Fedora-based laptop in PC Suite mode, NetworkManager on my laptop instantly recognizes it as GPRS/3G modem. When I choose to establish connection it just works, even when I don't have 3G connection established directly on Nokia (in fact, modem connection from laptop works even when I'm connected to WiFi on N900).
What it does mean is that there *must* be some way of establishing seamless, background GPRS/3G connection. Since Nokia itself has offered frals support in fMMS develpment, pointing out they don't plan to implement MMS themselves, I reckon they are now in position where they simply *have* to share their know-how and help frals to provide proper MMS experience in N900, just as we get in all other phones around the world. C'mon, they are Nokia - they must know how to implement MMS standard properly. ;)
Just installed fMMS and it's working great...but apparently it is a known drawback that you cannot tell for example the browser or e-mail client which APN they should use always?
I've just noticed that many times they try use the mms APN and hence can't make the connection...
I didn't read the whole thread so maybe this has already been discussed?
Current workaround is that you create another APN yourself for your internet settings so that it sits at the top of the list and has the highest priority... apps will automatically connect using the last APN created.
All I can say is "FREAKING AWSOME"! I can actually send a message on Tmobile and Recieve a decent size pic! frals, you are the man! Nokia should have included this in to OS but you definately came through. Concept Proven! How do I donate?
