Yeah, but the point is they still can't use email because they've not enabled it so they're stuck with MMS for viewing pics.
Got a tip for us?

Now that MMS is out, how will you send pics?

That is complete bullpucky.
The Motorola Razr has supported IMAP email since the V3 and works exceptionally well for a "dumb" phone.
Do people enable it? Maybe not, but they do have email supported by their phones. Even lower end Nokia phones typically have quite functional email clients built into them.
I don't like MMS because of the fees, but if it doesn't cost any extra then I'll use it for people too stupid to set their phones up for email or too cheap to have any data services.
what I meant was most people don't pay for data plans.

Just throwing this out there, but saying some people are "too cheap" to have a data service is a bit... well, a little rude.. I have an aunt who just got her first cell phone, my sister's old Motorola RAZR, and can not afford/it is not needed or reasonable for her to get a data plan. :/
But you know, that's just my 2 cents.
yea, I really dont get it. the iPhone is the only phone on the planet that cannot do MMS and so to defend it, any phone or any person who does MMS is somehow technologically inferior. Yet, MMS also came after email....
A girl sends me pics to my email and I get them at 640x480 (I have no idea what MP her phone camera is, but it's a cheap phone). When I email pictures from my iPhone they are about 800x600. Anyways, I'd hardly call MMS pictures tiny.
MMS is included in text message plans, so it's not an extra charge above and beyond normal text messaging rates.
I'm referring to the small size of the MMS on the phone's screen. A co-worker has a black berry and the pictures look ridiculously tiny--especially in comparison to the photos I send my friends via e-mail.
As I already wrote, I don't have a text plan. So the amount I'm going to be charged for a MMS is going to be obnoxious.

MMS 99% of the time, I've always hated using email to send photos to friends since you need to know the address (@vzwpiz.com) and add it to every contact.

I've never really used MMS much before but then I do periodically receive them from my sister and it's a right pain to have to load up the web browser and put in a password to view them.
Most of my friends still don't know how to get email working on their phones so it will be more useful and more immediate in that respect.
I'm glad Apple has finally decided to add this in.
