Sorry to disapoint but it’s not apple that sucks. It’s the carrier AT&T
iPhone is mms ready. Says it on the how to turn it on. Unfortunitely AT&T doesn’t let you. $100 a month for crap service is awesome.

Some people can’t understand Apple’s way of thinking in refusing to implement MMS. It’s clear that their way of thinking is this. “If people keep buying the iPhone, why bother lifting a single finger to give them MMS…or cut/paste or anything else we don’t feel like?”

Apple, I will never buy another one of your products again…EVER.

Their arrogance astounds me. They claim to be the best but they leave out MMS and a zillion other basic features out of their “cutting-edge” phone that zillions of their customers are begging for? Unbelievable…

I’m gone for life Apple…I hate you.

Me – Early adopter, techno geek, into the latest and best technologies.
Cro-Magnan – Utterly non technical, just discovered fire, owns a rotary-dial cell phone.

A recent conversation….
Cro-Magnan: U get cool pic me just send to phone?
Me: No, I have an iPhone, it doesn’t get MMS’s
Cro-Magnan: What is MMS? I no get note say u can’t get pic.
Me: Uh, yea…it doesn’t tell you I couldn’t get it, it just never gets delivered.
Cro-Magnan: Ugh! Why U pay 400 rocks and 40 rocks a month for iPhone then?
Me: Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Why the hell doesn’t ATT detect inbound text messages as MMS and re-route them to email???? Really couldn’t be all that difficult. Seems like they could package a dedicated email address with an application interface smilar to FetchMMS to route outbound MMS messages via the recipient’s carrier-specific phone email address. This would effectively bypass Apple’s moronic no MMS stance.
The iPhone is an amazing, break-thru device, the kind that really fosters fundamental change. It’s facinating to me that the iPhone’s greatest strength AND biggest limitation are both that it is produced by Apple. Without Apple’s cult following, the App store would just be a handfull of crummy games costing $9.99ea. yet it’s Apple’s inane business policies that keep it from becoming truly great, much as they have relegated Apple’s computer products to a few select niche markets.

If AT&T will just allow MMS on our accounts, I wouldn’t need this app. Then I could finally get SwirlyMMS to work and everything would be GREAT! Although I’d prefer having an MMS app directly from Apple, I’m not sure if that’s going to happen (or at least any time soon). SwirlyMMS is the next best thing, if I could just get it working. :(

Absolutely ridiculous that apple prevents AT&T from providing this service. This is why I am not a MAC user. Someone wrote somewhere. “Would you buy a Dell PC if you could only install Dell software on it?” A great question in my opinion.
The functionality already exists. As SwirlyMMS users have found out with AT&T adding net media usage to their plans…. But the cat’s out of the bag and AT&T are now not adding it to customer’s plans for fear of their breach of contract with Apple.
And so we have to wait for a compnay like Mobispone to go through the “approval” process with Apple to have an app in their limited and restrictive “Store”.
Well ok.. We can wait….. BUT if they have the &*lls to try and charge us for this application do they have any concept of how much the makers of Blackberry, Treo and others are going to thank them?
