Care to share?

I will give a donation to anybody that gets this to work like before. I text pictures and video to much not to have this working.

Here is the problem: Sprint has spiked the innerds of the HTC phones, so that some programs, not all, have lost their route to the internet to connect. I have turned off the phone connection and the data connection and I get the same error message. I don't know how they did it or even why. Maybe they didn't do it on purpose but I bought this phone knowing about the cab. I have approx 2 weeks left on my 30 days with Sprint. If this isn't sorted out, I guess I can turn it in and get the Verizon Touch some time in march.

I have never used this application, however, from what I've been reading all these years, the application itself is very fragile. It didn't work for everyone, then it stopped working, a workaround was found using the server IP instead of the address, etc.

If you solely rely on paying for this phone because this application exists, I would personally recommend you return it.

I just say it because it could end up in a big disappointment and frustration if it is discovered that this is not fixable.

Just in case, there's an alternative to send picture mail as attachments via a regular e-mail address (POP3, Exchange, etc.)

No I love the phone and have altered it extensively, but I like pic messaging and once you've had the convenience of taking sending the message immediately, you kinda like it. Some websites don't except pics sent via regular mail either.

The Verizon version is out soon and I can re install all my progs on it and have the 3G network in my area (Sprint currently does not offer it)

FINALLY, nothing irritates me more than paying for something that has capabilites limited for no real good reason other than financail benefit for the phone service. Kabeesh?

I've installed and unistalled MMS cab several times, it install without a problem, I click okay to reboot, it lets me compose a pic message, I put in a pic, insert a 10 digit #, I click send and it starts to send, then I get "Message Delivery Failed. Or Message Receipt Failed." and I get the option of "Retry Now" or "Retry Later" any ideas on how I could over come this? thank you!

You are wrong. Sprint MMS DOES indeed work. If you all would search and install the correct CAB file, you could get it to work. Mine has never stopped working. People, take the time, read the posts, and install EXACTLY as posted!

So Uh could you post the correct cab file here then?

It is the same CAB file that we have been using all along. All you have to do is reinstall it, exactly the way it is described (ie. all soft resets and power-downs).
