VZW won't (accordingto the device) allow it to use MMS. Even though thers an attatchment for the samsung 1730/i830 to take pictures, the MMS feature is done via the switch (the feature authorizing system).
Upon speaking with @ length with VZW DSC (tier 2 & 3 Data Support Center techs) they won't activate the feature, even if you bought the camera as its a non camera device, out of the box.
...Sad anyone with a success story PLEASE prove me wrong.
