The US is in central North America 
ASOCNA=Amalgamated States of Central North America
When I was a kid I decided I would rewrite the constitution and create a new USA---and that was the name I came up with, use it as as my location now on MR Although the description of central north america doesnt work when you consider both alaska and hawaii

So for the OP can you specify on the "coolness". I'm a bit upset that we don't have it yet but would like to hear more about what you like and dislike about it.

Like I posted in another thread...
Who gives a **** about MMS? I have it on my current phone (LG Shine) and I barely use it. It's cool to send a friend a picture of something every once in awhile, but I only use it maybe once or twice a month. With services such as TwitPic available, I don't get why not having MMS is such a huge deal--coming from someone who has had it for the past 5 years and will not miss it when my iPhone comes in on Friday.

Journalists have clearly noted the feud between Apple and AT&T on MMS. Other carriers have MMS, and AT&T is holding back Apple's technology. Apple is not happy!

If AT&T wants to clear this up fast, they should enable MMS before the end of July.

You know... I'm tired of these rants. So, I'll tell you why:
I GET THE D*MN MMS MESSAGES ON MY IPHONE ALL THE TIME FROM MY FRIENDS.
#1 I'm sick and tired of going to that crappy "viewmymessage" site.
#2 You cannot expect ALL of your friends to remember to email you that picture (and hence send everyone else an MMS). It's NOT GOING TO HAPPEN
#3 Using the carrier e-mail address to send an "MMS" to your friend/family works about 50% of the time. I'm sick of that.
#4 NOT EVERYONE HAS EMAIL ON THEIR PHONE
#5 If e-mail is your suggestion to "replace" MMS (which it will SOMEDAY), then why did Apple include SMS?

When sending a MMS from a non-iPhone (do you guys even know what those are?) you can send it to e-mail addresses as well as phone numbers. I do it all the time.
Boo ****in' hoo, you (and I) have to wait 2 months to get another option to send picture messages to your buddies. Big deal. Stop whining.
And yes, that works about 50% of the time (LIKE I NOTED IN MY FIRST POST).
Yes, Boo freakin' hoo to you, b/c MMS is coming.
So, why did Apple put in SMS? Email is supreme.

I rarely get MMS messages, even through viewmymessage.com; usually someone has to send me a picture 4 or 5 times for it to actually give me a message ID and password to login to the website.
THIS is why I spent 2 hours on the phone with AT&T yesterday trying to get the MMS feature working. When I miss important messages, it frustrates me.
For people saying MMS isn't a big deal, imagine not getting all of your mail from the post office. If 50% of your mail was lost in transit, it would cause you and the people sending you things a lot of headache. I'm sorry that not everyone is fortunate enough to receive picture messages from their friends (or co-workers), but for those of us who do it's a big deal.
