That doesn't make sense either - with Telus at least, pictures sent to me are stored on their Snap service, until I transfer them to my Album on my customer-account page... either way, the picture is still stored on one of their servers or another.
Send it via MMS, it passes through their servers, on the destination phone, and it's gone.
And besides, even 2MP pictures shot on my Titan's camera at highest resolution clock in at 256kB max. I could trade in the PPC for a new Ericsson with a 3MP camera and send picture messages again, so what would be the point of it being a "size" issue?
