Every time there is thread about MMS there are always people who pop in just to say "why do you even care about MMS when e-mail is better?"
People get excited when their iPhones can do new things, so what?
And to those people I ask do you use SMS? Why not use e-mail for that? You can send more text that way.
 
Why Apple didn't go with Sprint and the "Now Network" I will never understand.

Now means now--not later.

I don't think that the 250,000 customers that Sprint keeps losing each quarter agree with you. That's a sign that things are real bad over there.

I get sick of seeing that, too. Who cares if YOU would rather use email? I WANT MY MMS!!!
 
I believe that a lot of people hate AT&T because of how horrible their service is. Just today, in the course of 10 minutes, I had a call dropped 6 times. I called AT&T, and I got "Thank you for being an AT&T customer. Our map shows that you have good service"

I really don't like being lied to. I personally hope that AT&T goes bankrupt.




I don't really understand all this vitriol for AT&T. They were the only carrier initially willing to sign off on the iPhone, sight unseen, and have tried their best keeping up with the enormous bandwith consumed by iPhone users.

Any carrier would be under the exact same pressure if they had iPhone users consuming bandwith an order of magnitude greater than other smartphone users. Most people I know with Blackberry and WinMo phones use them to just text, DM, and talk. If people here think if the iPhone was suddenly on Verizon that all the network issues would be immediately rectified, you"re sadly mistaken.

Then you actually have people wanting to try their best to bring down the AT&T network, and use that as justification for why they're incompetent?

Idiots.....

Late West Coast Time?! Wow living on the East coast makes me a second class tech citizen. When will these damn US tech companies realize that the USA is more than California?

When is the damn east coast gonna realize that there are other time zone besides EST?!
 
Bad Service NOW, just wait

ATT's network is going to get JACKED for like a month after MMS comes onboard. Everyone and their brother forwarding those retarded MMS messages. I personally can't wait, I'll just sit back and watch the negative news and enjoy.
I have an iPhone but work for VZ. ;-)

Why bother?

We rule the country here in DC. To the west of us people mine the coal to heat the houses of those who rule the country. To the west of that, people harvest the grain that feed the people who mine the coal to heat the houses of those that rule.

To west of that, people design the ipods that entertain those who harvest the grain that feed the people who mine the coal to heat the houses of those that rule.

So who cares about the time in Cali?
 
OK, for a second I got a little bothered by that, then I started laughing.

Nice job, very creative. I understand now. I'm moving to the EAST coast so I can be a part of all that!

NEW 3G Networks are up in Central Illinois as of 10pm

The new 3G networks just got turned on like 30 mins ago!!!! We finally have 3G at U of I!!!!
 
I understand the frustration with apple and att (remember, they're in this together). I get great service at my home in greater cincinnati and in any number of other places when i travel, and horrible, wholly unsatisfactory service at my home in st petersburg. So I'd like things improved too. My objections to posts like yours, Andronicus, is with the attitude of hoping they fail. It reeks of Rush Limbaugh hoping Obama fails. Unless you're an anarchist, and certainly with situations involving your phone company, for gods' sake, or our president, that's not a position i'd endorse, I'd like to see people advocate for change, not for tearing down. Have the whiners here complained to the FCC? Have they complained to ATT that their service is so bad they should be let out of their contract? I doubt it. It's easy to holler "tear it down," "i hope it fails," "you're ugly I hope you die", but those aren't very mature responses and more importantly they're not very effective. There are more effective things we can--and should--do. End of rant.

You lost me as soon as you compared AT&T to The President of the United States of America:confused:...but maybe you can understand my point of view, which is if AT&T is "torn down" or "fails" or "becomes ugly and dies" (did someone actually say that?) then they will work much more quickly to build a more reliable network and provide the very best service vs doing the bare minimum to get by.

Oh, and please don't compare me to Rush Limbaugh again, it hurt more than you will ever know...
 
I couldn't remember when the update was coming so I tried to send one tonight and it went through?! Im not sure if my carrier package is modified though, can't remember, but they used to not go through regardless of the mod.
 
We rule the country here in DC
Completely OT but *that* has to be the funniest thing I've read in a long time.

Wake up and join reality. DC is like the armpit of the US. Nobody with any common sense actually lives in DC. Some people commute there because they have to but they get out of there as quick as they can. :cool:

Late morning = 11:59:59 am PST

AT&T network crash = 12:00:01 pm PST

Give AT&T a little credit, they updated the network. 12:01 pm PST.
 
I bet absolutely nothing goes wrong on friday. I bet AT&T is just holding off on MMS for as long as humanly possible because its 'at no extra cost'. They aren't making anymore money on it, why not sit on your hands?

And my reply would be I DO! I only text people who don't have smartphones, the slackers. ;)

Also I'm a little depressed that we have to wait a another whole year for the next iPhone to come out. 3GS was such a disappointing update. I'm not upgrading till the next one.
 
I personally hope that AT&T goes bankrupt.

The 300,000+ people who work for them certainly don't. It's pathetic that you wish ill will on your fellow man just because you have a bone to pick with them. If you hate AT&T that much, pay your $175 ETF and move to a different carrier.

And for all you people on the east coast whining about the time, would you be any happier if AT&T said "early afternoon eastern time"? I'd imagine AT&T relies on Apple to push out the carrier update and Apple of course, is on the west coast.
 
Call me crazy, but wouldn't it make sense for AT&T to roll MMS out some day other than Friday? The network is already strained more than usual simply due to increased usage, especially at night.
