Sprint Picture Messaging

[spiffyjiff]

i apologize in advance, but honestly, i have tried to read thru all the threads relating to pic mail in a few diff forums so either i missed it, not understanding or seeing conflicting answers.

i have a brand new (replacement) touch diamond with sprint in the USA, stock ROM, ver. 1.09.651.6, if that matters, and am running SPB mobile shell and SPB phone suite. i am trying to determine if arcsoft MMS will work on my phone and/or what exactly i have to do. my questions:

1) will this work SEAMLESSLY with my stock ROM? or is it built for cooked ROM's?

2) there was an "extra" picturemail cab from sprint that i had to download last time around in order to actually get the crappy pic mail working on my old phone. i did NOT do that yet this time with the replacement - so do i still have to run the "delete sprint pic mail" cab?

3) will my SPB mobile shell msg indicators work as designed - showing which type of msg i have and number of each? (more of a "seamless" question, as in #1)

again, sorry...but i'm a kind of novice at this stuff.

thanks!
