Why would anybody still want MMS? Get real. If you want MMS you’re too much of a tasteless newb to need an iPhone. But, does it support jabber? (Of course it must, via the built-in iChat, or at least via AJAX.)

[quote comment="3785"]I wonder if the lack of MMS is due to the possible bandwidth issues? I mean, this phone will sync with hundreds, if not thousands, of your pictures within iPhoto. I don’t know about you, but just about every picture that gets sucked into my iPhoto weighs at least a MB. Usually more. Think of all the MBs of data that could be sent over an iPhone resulting from your large storage of photos that normal cell phones just don’t have hanging out on them. Just a thought…[/quote]

Not really because like most phones with MMS support, the size of the image is controlled by the carrier or software locked to be much smaller. That should be a relatively easy thing to fix. I’m pretty sure it is OS related.

[quote comment="3783"]This sux :( no MMS? NO GPS? And they call iphone revolutionary phone… yea right :[[/quote]

MMS and GPS are hardly innovative technologies my friend. Look past it and you’ll see the true beauty of the iPhone. Apple can always do a software update in the future to support MMS while you can add an external GPS to the iPhone. Try giving the really expensive Nokia N95 or other phones a larger screen with glass surface or even gestures…it’s impossible. Flip your current phones from portrait to landscape, does it automatically rotate? I didn’t think so. You beginning to get the picture here?

[quote comment="3776"]you know for certain that the iphone will not support exchange as push email?
(contacts, calendar, wireless sync)[/quote]

If the iPhone supports Exchange – that’s new to all of us. As far as we know, Exchange is not supported, hence no push email on iPhone via Exchange.

[quote comment="3774"]what are the limits for pop3…can i have it through an exchange server??
is yahoo the only push email compatible with the iphone?[/quote]

If you’re on exchange server, there should be an option for your admin to flip on allowing pop or imap access to your email account. Only problem is you won’t get direct push email. The other option (if you’re on linux) is to use email that came with linux – it supports push now.

As far as we know, Yahoo is the only web-based email service with push.

[quote comment="3770"]How can the iphone not support mms, this is a big downfall for me :([/quote]

perhaps it’s a limitation of OSX? It’s just really odd that iPhone doesn’t support MMS!
