in this photo he iMessaged ME, directly to my email, but as you can see in the other photos, it showed up simply as a regular iMessage.
it did NOT indicate that i had received a message sent to my email or phone number.

i also want to mention that when the other participant sent me a photo i tried to 'save image' and it would not save. (BUG im sure) so i took a screenshot of it:)
thats why you can see a black border around the email iMessage photo.
 
if you save their number/email as a contact, does it then show their contact name above the message?
i.e. instead of it saying 07xxxxxxxx1 and then the next message saying 07xxxxxxxx2 it would say Steve for person one and Mike for person two, (or whatever they are named as in your contacts).

i labled the numbers MR1 & MR2 to test this.
it did indeed do as you said.

Hey guys, if you all still want to try it out, cause i know i did, its very exciting.
you can PM me, and we can do a group or just one on one. :)
thanks.
 
I think it looks pretty clumsy in its current form. They should have different colour bubbles for different members of the group or something.
 
down to test iMessages

PM me i'm down to test. Id love to see if a video gets compressed when sending like it does sending through AT&T's network.
