So I guess it has been confirmed, 100%, that along with the native threaded SMS in wm6.1 we will also have fully working MMS over sprint networks? I took a picture of a funnel cloud yesterday on the road and wanted to send it to a friend. I then remembered how lame it was not to have working MMS and my "jimmy rigged" Arcsoft quasi-MMS solution was no longer working.

Thanks for bringing me up to date on this.

In regard to SprintTV - Does this mean we can simply run the program and it comes pre-loaded on the ROM but we have no subscriptions for anything. In other words, we cant really view anything anyway? Or do they plan to allow at least some basic channels (i.e. CNN, etc.)? I have a SERO package and I have managed to get SprintTV up and running with current ROM but I cant really access anything due to subscriptions. I was able to access 5-6 channels a few months ago but that has since changed. To what extent can a standard (or SERO) user expect to have in terms of access to channels?

Wow.. i wish people would seriously just listen to James. Take a second and read the thread before you make your 5th post on PPCGeeks based off something you googled, or otherwise have no idea about. It sucks to see the correct information posted then re-posted over and over for all the new kids in the class who don't have the patience, or courtesy to read the frickin thread.

James said MID JULY for the ROM... MMS WON'T BE INCLUDED... IT WILL COME SEPARATELY LATER THIS SUMMER.

I would definitely say email is not MMS. MMS is when you type in a number for any of the carriers, not an email address, to send a picture, video, or sound file. That would be easier than trying to know the the carrier email server for all of your friends. Also, it is easier to send the pic (or other multimedia) directly from the capture interface (i.e. camera).
On the flip side, some people are somewhat annoyed that Sprint forces users to use a web browser to see pictures online when using smartphones. Standard phones have pictures delivered directly to the phone using the MMS application.
That is what most users considered MMS.
Sure, MMS is based off of email, so is SMS. But I wouldn't say if you have email you have MMS. More like you have limited MMS or just the ability to email multimedia, not a true Multimedia Messaging Service.

but again, the name WINDOWS says absolutely nothing about MMS limitations.
