hmm, Pat updated a 8525 to AKU2.6 and guess what? It *can* send mms without getting the OOM error. Now we need to figure out why the i830w can't do it. It's clear now it's not the AKU level. Could it be a network configuration difference or possibly a missing service? I don't think it's hardware related.
Pat, any ideas? Maybe we could get a list of services, device drivers and network configurations of the two devices and compare. The TaskMgr at xda can list the services and device drivers.

A registry dump of each device would be nice to compare too.
