Anyway, we could use picture mail. It was well integrated. It still did that weird web-based you have a PM thing, but it worked. We would send em to each other now and then...

Then we upgraded a few years back to 6700s. No PM. But, you had real speeds, real internet, real email. You could email pictures to each other. We got over no PM...

Now I'm on a mogul, she's on a touch.... and so the other day I'm all happy saying "Hey honey, we've finally got Picture Mail again!"

She says, and I kid you not, "Why the hell would we want that?"

"Uh. Well. It's neat?"

Sigh. Yep.

It is neat though.

Has anyone called about the G66 error? I get the error rather quickly, it's like the phone doesn't even bother checking the network even though the data connection is open.

Anyone else notice that when you send it they don't show up in sent items folder and it's not in the out box while sending? I can't find any way to verify it actually went out except to see if they respond.

Guy I work with got that on his Touch. Tried again and it worked. Also try going through SMS and choosing new then picture mail from there. That worked better for him

When I try to send a picturemail, it asks me to sign up for the $5/month picturemail plan. I have unlimited power vision, what gives?

I totally agree!... the only thing "Official" has going for it is Video, but it does not support .gif .... so for now im using both. and I also like the way sMMS recives. bitter sweet but better than nothing another half a$$ed attempt form Sprint, just what we have come to expect.....

I really wish there was an option to send new pictures captured from my camera through picture mail. I don't want to have to navigate to the image I just took to send picture mail.
