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?

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.

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.

Anyone else experience this? Suggestions??

You stated MMS is included on windows mobile. It's not. Simple as that. Email is included, MMS isn't. Email does not = multimedia messaging system.
You don't know which carrier all your friends are on, so the #@carrier.com system fails there. MMS won't.
This thread is way off topic.

I can goto http://www.fonefinder.net/ and the site will tell me who the provider is for that number. Thus I know what carrier to send it to.... Even apple does not support mms. MMS i think is for lazy users who dont want to take the time to find out who is on what carrier.

I'll tell you what, you take you good work ethic and look up you 'friends' carriers, and then what the carrier email is, and email them your pictures. I don't f-ing care. I will be 'lazy' and use sMMS, and maybe Sprint/Microsoft's MMS program when that comes out later. It doesn't matter a SINGLE bit to me. And what's this about apple? Just because apply doesn't have it, you don't want it? that's cute. I don't know I'm even arguing with you about this. The ONLY thing I wanted to get across was that email is not, in fact, MMS. It has a secondary function that will substitute for MMS. You haven't disagreed, just given me reasons why MMS is for the lazy. How does that help? It's just insulting. And it doesn't even make sense.
I don't know why I'm wasting my time arguing with you. This is WAY off topic. You know what? I'll give you the last shot, in the interest of everybody. So go ahead and reply and tell me that I'm fat and lazy and how the Mogul can play Crysis. I won't respond.

not always accurate, a T Mobile number ported to Sprint still shows up as T Mobile, and I agree with dzuchowski, and you could always use the email addy on the phones account

Seriously people this isnt a trouble shooting thread. If you need help with your phone start a new thread or alteast do some research and SEARCH! Anyways back to the topic. I dont know about anyone else but phonescoop.com said that sprint would have an update for winmo 6.1 in june but i looked for that same news release from sprint and now it says summer 2008. I could have sworn it said june 2008. but since there is no update. I must have remebered wrong. sprint news about winmo 6.1 release: http://newsreleases.sprint.com/phoenix.zhtml?c=127149&p=irol-newsArticle_newsroom&ID=1124415&highlight= So summer last tell september or october right? So it maybe months before we see an update.
