MMS and Emai are 2 totatlly different animals.

MMS is an instans way to send pictures or video (when applicable) between ALL phones (not just sidekicks). In fact MMS has become a major feature that a lot of people use to communicate through JUST pictures, granted 99% is to goof off, but thats besides the point.
The Sidekick is supposed to be a messaging tool and to not have MMS is almost contradictiry to me. Id say 3 or 4 times a day someone send me a picture message from their phone….al I can see on my “messaging tool” is amessage that say I have been sent a pictures, lof on to http://www.tmobilepictures…….”…. so usually I have to wait to get home and do this since 99% it doesnt work by logging in on my SK. Now, that sucks, defeats the whole purpose when I have to do that I cant respond right away to their messages cause I dont have such a simple and popular service. So much so that its almost a joke amongst my friends that I carry this huge “Calcultaor” that doesnt even recieve pictures.

again, i totally agree with jeph.. not everyone has a sidekick.. in fact, a lot of people don’t.. and i don’t think email is a sufficient replacement for MMS.

“Why have MMS?”

. . . Because, despite the popularity of the Sidekick, not everyone has one; and e-mailing may not be so instantaneous for them as it is for us.

So no, MMS and e-mail do *not* quite do the exact same thing.

I dout seeing MMS. Why have MMS when you have email that does the exact same thing? Even if they put MMS, they may charge us extra for each message send and recieved without the unlimited messaging bundle added on ($14.99) or they will disable the “Save as Ringtone” feature, just like they did with the email.

ok ok ok

but will this one FINALLY be able to do MMS?
its pretty ridiculous that a messaging specific device cant recieve or send them, seriously they better have done something about it man.

I still think it looks fake. Do you really think Danger would use USB 1.1 and would make a manual page that ugly looking? Way too unprofessional. 100% fake.

futrexec01,
the power jack that is listed in that manual photo, i beleive, is refering to the jack where you would plug in the adapter, from the wall, to provide power to the unit…for charging…that’s how I interpreted the term “powerjack” anyway…like the current model, it has the usb input, but it also has a jack for charging from the wall…that is not the same hole you stick the handsfree plug into, there is a seperate one for that. why call a “hedphone jack” a “power jack”? have they done this in the past? when i pulled out my skII manual it showed a “power jack” indicating the hole we use to charge currently, and there was a different name and label for the headphone jack.
so i think that’s wrong, unless i missed something
(likely)
