This bothered me on T-Mobile's network with my Sidekick 3, but it doesn't bother me at all on Sprint. I just click the link, and it loads within a couple seconds, and I can save it. No biggie.

Yes, you have to use the Sprint Picturemail website if you want to manage/view all your pictures.

Like the other poster said, the 6800 does not natively support MMS but you can install an application that lets you send MMS. You view incoming MMS messages through the web browser on the 6800.

You can view Picture and Video Mail on the Mogul. It comes through as an SMS with a link just like any other Sprint phone, so there's no issue there. The Verizon MMS app works great, the only issue is that pictures you send don't get uploaded to the Picture Mail website. I don't think anyone has found a work around for that yet.

The problem I have with going to the Sprint site for the MMS is that it shrinks the attachments!!!! I've had people send the same thing to my email and to my phone. Normally it wouldn't matter but if someone has a nice camera phone for instance the file will be over 200Kb and the Sprint site shrinks it down to like 14Kb for a MAJOR loss in quality. I don't know why they would do that. Has anyone else noticed that, or found a work around?

is this possible with the 6800?

The MMS app only worked for a couple days for me, haven't been able to get it to work since, no matter what i do.

Mine has not worked since day 1..
40+ hours on tech support, conference call with MMS provider, still can't send and receive pictures..
What did they do to fix yours?

receiving works fine (comes as a link which you click and then can view and save).
Sending works if you sent as an email to <sprint phone number>@pm.sprint.com
Of course, this is only true if sending to a sprint user. Other carriers have similar email gateways.

The MMS app froze my device and seemed otherwise unstable. If you're on alltel, you already have native MMS support. That's about it!
