MMS on the Iphone, any update?

I've posted this before (several months ago) and I'll post it again. AT&T will drag their feet on enabling MMS as long as they possibly can. When they said late summer, they meant the very last day of summer, and it could drag on beyond that. Why? Go read HowardForums.com and find out how they are doing with the 850 mHz capacity overlays in NY, SF, and LA. It's progressing, but far from done in NY and LA, and there's no sign of any of it being switched on yet in SF. With all likelihood, none of it is moving as fast as they hoped. Without these overlays, some people with iPhones are already experiencing nearly intolerably poor service, so why would they flip a switch that would only make it worse?
 
I went yesterday to add a line to my account and seen that the ATT employee had an iphone. so I asked when was MMS going to be available. He told me that he got an email the day before and that ATT said early November.. :-(

so i guess november is late summer now huh?. well my sisters best friends boyfriends cousins brother knows this guy who dates this girl whos little brother mows the lawn of the CEO of AT&T and he says its not going to be released until late next summer with the release of iPhone OS 4.0 and the next gen iPhone
 
well i was in a starbucks last nite enjoying a nice $7 cup of coffee and free AT&T wifi on my iPhone when the Manager of the AT&T Store next door walks in. well to make a long story short we started talking and i asked him when MMS was going to be on the iPhone and he laffed and said "Never, its just a ploy to get everyone in the country to switch of to AT&T and the iPhone so Apple and AT&T can take over" then he said it will be out tomorrow. :D

At this point it's one of those things, it seems so close we can smell it... now we want to taste and I'm curious as to why AT&T is still dragging their feet. They should be ashamed... Right now, they are the laughing stock of US Wireless companies.

There are more important things in life to taste and smell than AT&T's MMS. ;)

I'm just amazed at all the bitching that goes on when the "late summer" deadline hasn't even passed. We bitched about this for several months after the WWDC when we found out AT&T wasn't going to have MMS ready for OS 3.0, but since then the posts have been ridiculous (for example, redefining late summer as ending in July).

Edit: UD has no one to send him juicy MMS pics. :)

That's great and all but wouldn't it be nice to get the pics while you are working or something?

Um, no? Why would I want that.

Boss: "Unspoken, you are doing a mighty fine job around here. You may be up for a promotion soon!
Me: "Gee wiz boss! Really? Thank you so much!"
Boss: "Well, Unspoken, you've certainly deserved it. Hey, I left my phone at my desk, can I borrow yours to make a quick call?
Me: " Well sure boss!"
*Hands over phone.
*Dirty pics come in to phone.
*Boss see's my gf's naughty bits
Boss: "Maybe I'll just go get my phone..."

JOHNSON GETS THE GOD**** PROMOTION!

Seriously, don't you have some relative or person you know that is totally computer illiterate and the mere fact of sending or reading an email would be like cracking a safe? For those types, being able to send or receive an MMS would be nice, right?
 
it's funny to

if you made a list of every company that promised to release something and then changed the release date because it wasn't ready. you would have a pretty big list of company's that should be sued. :rolleyes: Say what you want there are two company's that can handle the Iphone Network in the us AT&T and Verizon being a CDMA network eliminated themselves since most phones world wide are GSM. Also our government slowed down the AT&T network years ago because of the Monopoly laws. it's common for cell phones to be exclusive to a network I'm pretty sure AT&T want's to end the bad publicity on the whole MMS but at the same time I am sure they want it to work correctly they do and not crash the 1st day. highly likely 3.1 will be released at the Key note Address Sept 7th and hopefully MMS which would be Holy Crap Late Summer!

Well yeah, of my cat being adorable, sure.
Not naughty pictures at work.

Thanks to PhightinPhils26 Johnson got the promotion. :mad:

I doubt that... unless you work at a church.

Or, you know, you work in a corporate office, around a bunch of uptight a******s.

First, he would use your desk phone, second, does your boss pay the cell bill?

I think you understood the point. People can always watch over your shoulder, glance as they pass by, etc. It doesnt take much to lose your job, and in this economy getting pictures at work, when I can get the real thing the second I walk in the door at home, hardly seems worth it.

And you've never let someone borrow your phone because they dont pay your bill? Not even for a quick call?
 
PhightinPhils26 said:
I don't have anything to hide. What I am trying to get at is, your boss shouldn't be using your phone if he doesn't pay the bill.

Not even for a quick 2 minute phone call? I think my 1600 or so rollover minutes will be just fine. That, and he pays me well enough that I can afford my phone bill. ;) Dont s*** where you eat.

My other point is that if he isn't paying for your bill then he shouldn't care what is being transmitted though it...

True, but recieving that kind of message, from your significant other, in a work environment, is usually frowned upon.

Oh well, I see your point. Im just saying, here, in this place, it would be frowned upon, and if someone (johnson as a joke) was in the same running as me, my boss would choose him over me.
