MMS isn't supported burble.
I can see the appeal in the iPhone and i would consider getting one as i've already said, but this whole touchscreen is the future thing isn't for me. Tactility is immensely better for most interactions. I can find my way around far far far quicker than any touchscreen. But i don't knock the iPhones ability, and i'm not saying i don't want one a little. I can just see me getting annoyed/bored/held back by it eventually...

I put my money on that MMS will be supported, in the App Store, and it will cost you like $10/£5 to buy it.
The hardware can do it, People want it, Apple knows it, therefore money to be made from it. |

Stuff that then. Oh well.
Have you actually used an iPhone for an extended period, Alex? I was very sceptical about them until I picked up 2 in NYC for my Dad and Brother. After unlocking them I used one of them for a couple of weeks and found that the touchscreen was all but perfect. |

If that's want you really want from the iphone and its the deal clincher, i'd wait. The good news is that the App Store is due to appear at the end of June, about 2 weeks prior to the release of the phone, it'll be release along with the V2 firmware upgrade for V1 iphones so we'll know then what Apps there are to be bought in the App store.

Besides, there is nothing stopping a 3rd party making their own MMS apps too and charging for it in the App Store. I mean if you are a small software company/programmer, there is money to be made as we all know people want MMS on the iphone ! This is a goldmine really!

After using the iTouch for occasional emails I just can't go back to a normal phone keyboard for exactly the same reasons you'd get bored with the iPhone
Its a shame it doesn't support normal MMS. Its Apple's classic thing. Sometimes they don't think something is needed and dump it. In 5 years time it won't be an issue. You "MMS" via email on the iPhone. TBH I've never really used MMS. I won't miss it.

There's currently SwirlyMMS if you jailbreak it. I've only given it a quick look though so don't know if it actually works. I very rarely send MMSes although typically I wanted to last night and couldn't.
