This is what I think of MMS

Not every one wants or needs a smart phone with internet & e-mail capabilities.
MMS has been around for some years now, and many older 'non-smart' phones support the MMS functionality.
As to why it took Apple & AT&T so long to get it to work on the iPhone, is still a myserty to me. (As is the relevance of the youtube link to MMS)

You want to know the relevance to the video? The fact that everywon got Jackt up about it wen there was not much need for it, yes there are plenty of phones that do mms but how many of them give you a link for you to go home and open in you're pc
 
for me I find MMS handy over email on a number of occasions.

One size fits all rarely works and we all have different needs and requirements, to that end, for some MMS is a good tool and for others not so much
 
mms is great for those of use to who have pretentious friends that all have smartphones :rolleyes:
 
Yeah... my friends and family have older phones that can receive mms just fine but they can't check their email on them...

thread fail.
 
This is a god question how many people that use MMS are in smart phones. I bet more than half but its hard to say wen you post in a site for mac users that most likely have a iPhone.

How old are you?
 
I love MMS. Can send photos to my friends phone and they don't need to have bothered to set their mobiles up to receive emails. Its easy on Iphone and Blackberry and so on but on average consumer phones the process is a lot harder. Email is an after thought in these phone for most people. They don't have the settings for their account and many don't have a wizard to help them.

kids these days.. ;)

While i don't use MMS all that often, it's nice to have it when I want to use it.

Case in point - my father-in-law can use a cell phone pretty well, so we send him videos of our daughter playing and such, using MMS. We send the message and he receives it almost right away.

If we were to use email it'd take him quite a lot longer to view them and definitely wouldn't be able to from his cell phone (dumb phone).

Now the quality isn't the greatest with MMS, but then again, I'm not capturing the video using my HD camcorder either.

Oooh, bad title on the thread. It's not that there's anything wrong with MMS itself.

If you'd named this thread "This is how MacRumors posters see MMS" then you'd have been golden!
 
I don't see mms as a bad thing its just the fact that smart phones are slowly becoming a standard

Now to be totally honest I haven't tested speed between the 2 but it just crossed my mind that if smart phones are the future of phones then how come we got to go nuts over something that might have an expiration date.

I am going to do some test my self and I will also test with some idiot phones and I will come back to this thread, but the experience i got with MMS from a smart phone to a regular phone wasn't that god

for example most Sony Ericson was god but on sum Motorola was very bad. but then again how smart is the sony ericson cause to me some are hybrid

If you don't like it, then don't use it. At least the option is there for people who want to use it.
