Ok, so I knew there were some issues with HTC phones not being able to send MMS on sprint network. I recall a article where sprint said they were trying to work on getting it working and it was some kind of design issue. Right about that time the hacked Arcsoft solution stopped working.

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.
That's great news for Windows Mobile fans that are dying to get MMS on their Sprint cellphones. Unfortunately, it seems that one man's good news is another's not-so-good news. Sprint and Palm have apparently held up their Palm Treo 800w launch due to the addition of this MMS software. On the one hand, it's good to hear that the Windows Mobile 6.0 (most likely 6.1 by the time it launches) Professional-powered smartphones will be getting jiggy with MMS.

So I guess it has been confirmed, 100%, that along with the native threaded SMS in wm6.1 we will also have fully working MMS over sprint networks? I took a picture of a funnel cloud yesterday on the road and wanted to send it to a friend. I then remembered how lame it was not to have working MMS and my "jimmy rigged" Arcsoft quasi-MMS solution was no longer working.
Thanks for bringing me up to date on this.
In regard to SprintTV - Does this mean we can simply run the program and it comes pre-loaded on the ROM but we have no subscriptions for anything. In other words, we cant really view anything anyway? Or do they plan to allow at least some basic channels (i.e. CNN, etc.)? I have a SERO package and I have managed to get SprintTV up and running with current ROM but I cant really access anything due to subscriptions. I was able to access 5-6 channels a few months ago but that has since changed. To what extent can a standard (or SERO) user expect to have in terms of access to channels?
