OK Here is Sprints Official response to the MMS issue. posted on BAW
http://forums.buzzaboutwireless.com/....id=4014#M4014

Sprint would like to provide an update in response to recent inquiries about sending pictures from Sprint’s Windows Mobile devices to other mobile phones. Currently Sprint’s Windows Mobile devices support sending/receiving pictures between any valid email address and receiving Sprint Picture Mail pictures from mobile phones via text messaging. Picture Mail pictures received via text messaging appear as a URL that is viewable from the Windows Mobile device’s Web browser. Sprint currently does not offer the capability to send pictures to other mobile phones by entering the mobile number to share photos. To address this issue, we are currently working on two solutions:

1. We expect to offer a free Picture Mail software download later this year that will enable all customers with existing Windows Mobile 6 devices to send pictures to other mobile phone numbers (normal usage fees will apply).
2. Beginning later this year, all future Windows Mobile device models from Sprint will be preloaded with the full Picture Mail application.

In the interim we would like to remind customers that pictures can be shared from Windows Mobile devices to any email account via the Options/Send menu on the device. Pictures can also be shared from Windows Mobile devices through the use of Bluetooth, beaming and synchronization capabilities, and removable memory cards. We will continue to communicate updates here as the exact timelines and solutions are finalized.

And it will work on WM5 also.

Yeah. And I am not sure of anyone else here, but I Am getting Blue in the Face from holding my breath for so long.
Luckily SomeGuy has given us all the oxygen we can handle for the moment( and a most opportune moment no less ).
We can Do better than a company that has BILLIONS to spend; yes millions on developing software, yet we still get junk in response to our requests. It take a collective outcry to make them even notice a problem.
I for one would say to heeeyyylll with them if their SERO plan wasn't so yummy.
Ironic in a way as I left once a year ago saying that they'd have to give me everything free to make me come back( Insert Laugh Track Here).

so wait..

this new program will not work on mobile five?

wtf kind of **** is that?

man... sprint is seriously trying to not have my business anymore...

ive got the 6700 and im pretty happy with the phone... but ive had nothing but problems with the service...


one or two more straws for the camel and its done...

You sound like my Aunt who still had her Windows 95 PC until this past Christmas... No offense, mind you, it just sounds like a relatively silly gripe, especially since I'm sure that once it's out people here or at XDA will find ways of making it work.

Besides, they said it would be made available for 6.0 users, that doesn't imply it will only work with 6.0.

Maybe you should update your ROM and you might not have so many issues.

[dzuchowski]

by sprint saying that they are working on it means this: it will be available only on newer native wm6.1 devices like the treo 800w and the diamond/ralph... I think sprint will say to us like they did with the ppc6600 users if you want it purchase a new phone.. if you have to pay full price. i plan on purchasing a new diamond or ralp this year as soon as it is out i hope to get it on day one! i wish that sprint does get purchased by tomobile so they go gsm then i can get the diamond and the ralp and the treo 800w and then i can just chose which on i want to use at a seconds notice by switching the sim card/ gsm so rocks even vzw is switching to gsm newer lte gsm

MMS will be available for both the Touch and the Mogul... It will be like the ARcsoft app was/is and will be a free download when It is available. They are Targeting Q3 2008 for all WM 6 and 6.1 devices.

Hope that helps a little..

And btw yes the Touch will have GPS before then.. GPS/RevA is scheduled for release Late June. Trying to find out a better date as we speak.
