I believe the reason behind Sprint not offering MMS on Smartphones MS/Blackberry/etc is because their MMS service is a rigged "be glad it does something" system. I switched to VZW for one week because I had enough of customer service "we promise to call you back" run around. I had the Samsung i760 and oddly enough, I could send and receive MMS right to the phone. I was not sent a link to view the MMS. If this is the case and Sprint has a poorly written system that all of their current phones are provisioned to use, implementing a fully functioning MMS system would cause them to have to push updates to each and every phone they have running on their network. The cost would probably outweigh the consumer happiness. It all boils down to WiMax, QCHAT, and trying to get out of the red with spending a little money as possible. Don't expect squat from Sprint for at least five years, that is if they are are still around.
