I'd be interested in seeing if there were ever any such complaints or if it's just a hole that could be exploited with Windows (mobile or otherwise) and the MMS protocol. I'm sure any porn spammer could just as easily alter their script to send an email to 123-456-7890@pm.sprint.com instead of just sending an mms to 123-456-7890.
A valid point, it seems more of a plausible cover story than an actuality. They obviously have set up new server protocols. Wonder what some of the minds here could do with the Arcsoft app to make it appear more "legitimate" to the Sprint server....More like a dumbphone...
