Anyhow, I saw that it is going to have MMS, but some "tech" people seem to think it is just a version of sMMS (which, I don't know what the difference is).

Sprint doesn't have true MMS. It has its own version called Picture Mail, which most refer to as MMS. With Picuremail, the media stays on the Sprint server and you will either get a text message with hyperlink to it or if you are lucky, your app will display the picture/media for you. True MMS sends you the media directly.
sMMS is basically a web browser shell for the Sprint picturemail website. It is very nicely done as well, which is why I registered it.
Sprint previously allowed picturemail apps like Arcsoft to work, but they blocked them after a while. sMMS works because its using the website rather than the protocol that Sprint blocked.
I don't use Picture mail that often as I mainly rely on email. If any of my information isn't completely accurate, feel free to add on.
EDIT: Here is a nice article which should clarify some things. I know the author back from my Treo days and he's very knowledgeable.
