I guess they found a legit-sounding way of describing it. Rather than work out any kinks with a theoretical MMS functionality, they bring in the whole fear or unsolicited porn. Rather than just working out a way to prevent MMS spamming they blocked MMS in general on PPCs. I'd be interested in seeing if there were ever any such complaints or if it's just a hole that could be exploited with Windows (mobile or otherwise) and the MMS protocol. I'm sure any porn spammer could just as easily alter their script to send an email to 123-456-7890@pm.sprint.com instead of just sending an mms to 123-456-7890.

What do you mean by "...they could build it into the new ROM..."? The necessary software is in there already. Sprint just blocked the use of the software. |
LoL at 'porn'...that is just too funny.
Regular 'dumb phone' users can send whatever they like, its just us PPC users who have clogged the network by sending porn? wow, someone there has a whole bunch of screws loose... this seems more like retribution over all the GPS and Video Driver complaints than anything else.... |
The software was removed from both the mogul and the touch before release on sprint. Alltel chose to keep it which is where the hacked version came in.
You are choosing to pay the $5 per month, you also know and have known that this feature is not supported. You can call and cancel paying the $5 a month any time as it is not tied to your contract. Only you know why you choose to pay for a service that you know does not work. It is kindov like paying for DSL from Att even though you live in the sticks and know it is not available and then calling ATT and saying where is my DSL. |

This is why I said complaining to HTC would have been a better option. They say on their website that it is a supported feature. If they build it in the next ROM then "It would appear that these security changes, which included increased blocking on access to the server by non-Sprint applications, had the side effect of disabling a popular but unauthorized third party MMS "hack" that has been used by PPC users for some time." Would not be a problem as it is no longer unsupported 3rd party software. |

This is exactly what i wanna know! I could see if they had a service for the phones that we could pay for, but they dont. Us using the free mms didnt cost them a dime and shouldnt have made a differnce because they dont offer the service on the phone in the first place. Sprint better clean there act up or I'm leaving and i know im just one person but im sure others feel the same way. I have a sero plan, and even with that this phone is garbage! Fact is i was ready to sell this damn thing pay the fee to cancel and go to vzw or att the only thing that made it good enough to keep was the pic mail now they come up with this stupid bull??? This is just sad! Last day of March thats my limit if evdo rev. A is not on my phone or if i can download a new rom with it on there by then im out! No joke! I will pay the fee and go to another carrier! this is total bull! |

Sprint goes to HTC. They say, "We want to carry these phones of yours; we want X-thousand of each, and we want you to customize them like this...". HTC modifies the phones the way Sprint (or any other carrier) wants them. In other words, they're giving their customer what they ask for. If you were to buy your phone directly from HTC, you can probably get it with all features unlocked and intact, or theoretically even customized to your own specs (although I doubt they'd do that for "just one" phone), but if you buy it from Sprint, you get the version that is made *to Sprint's specs*. There is no REASON to complain about HTC - you are not their customer, Sprint is. |
