As I understand it, the REAL reason AT&T is delaying MMS rollout is due to network capacity issues, not some lame excuse like having to manually update accounts. Their network, especially in major cities like NY, doesn't currently have the headroom to allow for their many many iPhone users to be transmitting huge video files and so forth. It's already struggling just with iPhone web surfing. They are busily doing the 850mHz overlays to double capacity and increase range, and posts I'm seeing at HowardForums indicate they are making good progress, but they are by no means done. I think even late summer is a stretch, but maybe they will get to a certain percent complete and then go ahead and flip the MMS switch.
DO NOT believe anything a CSR tells you. If AT&T was truly ready to announce a hard date, either internally or publicly, we would have heard about it by now.
