Not true - there is a big difference between a quick snap and MMS and an e-mail, which most people don't receive via their phones.
I disagree. It's super quick to email photos from iPhone, I never use SwirlyMMS now.
Speaking as someone who works for a company supplying MMS servers to telecos, I can assure you MMS is not 'old' (We are still signing big deals with telecos wanting new MMS servers) and would be amazed if not on the iPhone 2.
I agree, think MMS will eventually fade out. Why waste 30 odd pence to send an MMS when you can send it by email for free. Then people say "but normal phones can't recieve them", my reply is "Then get an iPhone..."

My other halfs handset can't recieve emails but I'm not about to buy her an iPhone
May setup outlook and a new email address on her laptop though
It's not about how easy it is to send a photo by email, it's about the majority of people not having the capability or inclination to check their email on their phones. I use MMS all the time.. if you are only friends with geeks that constantly check their email then I can understand why you might think it's not necessary

Agreed.
I think its time to include it, its not like its difficult!
Yes, it is 'super quick' to send them, but what about receiving them? Most MMS users want to send photos to other people to receive on their mobile phones. Seen as though consumer e-mail usage of their mobile phones is next to nothing, e-mail fails it.
As one that doesn't use MMS or video calling im not to bothered my iphone doesn't have it, what it is for me is both decent mp3 player and mobile in one plus it looks cool aswell still get plenty of oooowww is that an iphone when out & texting on it second to none couldn't go back to a mobile were i have to flick though letters.
Now i proberly get the 3G iphone as im a stickler for latest tech but only after the 2.0 firmware been jailbroken

More waiting
"Even more good news is the fact that the new model should be in the shops by July 2008 which is shortly after the launch in America"
Yup. I just want to get on with preordering one. 4-6 week wait isn't too bad.
Do they? I much prefer to receive photos on email, and when people do MMS me a half decent photo I always forward it to my email.
Email far from fails - it is the future, MMS is a duff product.
I've never sent one. And any image I've recieved was barely viewable due to a combination of a crap phone screen and complete lack of resolution anyway.
