If you do a search you'll fine plenty of info on the subject.

Actually, Sprint has not said that they are working on MMS for WM phones. They are working on PictureMail, which is not quite the same thing. For example, PictureMail does not deliver the picture to the WM device, but delivers a text message containing a link to the picture posted on a web site. It would probably be less expensive and less maintenance in the long run, as well as more satisfying to the users, if Sprint were to abandon the proprietary PictureMail product and just license MMS; but at least having PictureMail for WM devices is a start.
There may be a continuing demand for the sMMS application if it can mimic MMS better than PictureMail does.

John Garcia : We're working with Microsoft to build a PictureMail application that will work on their Windows product to give you a similar experience as our other products. As some of you may be aware, currently, you can actually do this on a Windows product, but you have to do it through e-mail or Bluetooth. We realize this is cumbersome. We're working to enhance this for you soon.
