Mann Arcsoft in its simplicity and intergrated-ness is awesome! !
Just to let other's know, you can run a custom ROM, install Sprint picture Mail (like i did)
-uninstall it ( i was like hey let me try arcsoft finally)
installed Arcsoft
did the registry edit in the OP
changed the Data setting which on my rom was "Network"
Its faster compared to the Sprnt Picture Mail. I'd estimate 3 seconds to either send or receive
It integrates with your text messaging window, you get nice looking taskbar notifications for sending and receiving. Wakes on new MMS seconds after you send a test photo plus with added text
