For example when I send a pic to someone on AT&T with a Sony Ericson flip phone they get it like a normal mms msg. Phonenumber@mms.AT&T.com and it works with vzw and tmobile too. I don't know why people have such a hard time with it.</p> I have several friend who do not have smart phones of any kind that I email pics to.

It sends a link to your hosted photo on some website.

A Flikr account is better than this.

Look, for a device of this calibre there are far too many missing ‘phone’ features that’s an embarrasment. Can’t receive or send MMS, can’t forward an SMS, can’t send a vcard. This isn’t even a copy/paste issue. This just BASIC phone stuff.

Me: Ok gimme a second and I'll email it to you. Me: Who is your carrier again? Friend: Why? Just send me the pic!! Me: I am, who is your carrier? Friend: Verizon Me: Ok Sent! Friend: What? I didn't get it! Me: I emailed it to you Friend: No, don't email it to me, just send me the picture Me: (sigh) I emailed it to your phone Friend: I don't have email on my phone, just MMS.

I along with you have used Email as my alternative to MMS because I had a T-Mobile Sidekick which also didn't support MMS. Its not the sending of pictures that is the MAJOR flaw in the iPhone in my opinion. Its receiving pictures. I have idiot friends that take a picture of everything they find interesting and it's like pulling teeth to get them to understand how to send a pic via email on their phones. They just shoot, select a contact and send! Simple enuf, but we have to find a desktop PC/MAC or a pen and a piece of paper to view the pics because of the idiotic AT&T site they make you go to, to be able to see the picture. The site itself always seems to be bogged down or unresponsive which doesn't help the matter at all! hahaha U would think AT&T and Apple would have come up with a better solution for retrieving photos that are sent to iPhones. At the least a direct link from ur text message that autofills the login and password for you so u don't have to memorize or write down the random generated login info! Just my two cents.</p> I still think one of the most standard features for 98% of the cell phones is still lacking in the iPhone.
