at&t will not enable iPhone 2g to do picture messaging on its network. at&t and apple will also not create a software update that gives the 2g iPhone the built in mms option in the messaging app. if you can do mms on your iphone, its probably through a 3rd party app.

Okay, so I’m a little confused. If the first gen. iPhone doesn’t support MMS, then why can I send (texting not email) and recieve pictures on my jailbroken iPhone on Tmobile…Does MMS mean something other than pictures? I thought it was supposed to be a hardware thing? Please clarify for me!

It’s just weird how they showed actual pictures of their stuff later in the video, but here he says something like, “Here’s what this looks like”, and they used a drawing…

I here you about the blog guy not being that cool…

but I do want to just let you know that att, like every other company, sub-contracts videographers and designers..

therefore… the people making these videos was the one who placed the picture of the iphone 2g..

and the service station… is really just a small white square building.

The reason GPS uses more bandwidth is because the iPhone doesn’t have all of the maps saved onto it. Although the GPS receiver uses satellites, loading the interactive moving maps to your phone does use at&t’s cell network. The GPS app is a $10 paid subscription too…

And the reason the data plan was $30 was because at&t purchased the phone from apple when the 3g came around and decided to subsidize the price of the device while making it include the same data package as the other PDAs and slower blackberrys. although this sucks, it makes sense?

One other thing,
IF every other phone on your network has had MMS for YEARS, why the need to recalibrate your tower radios for the iPhone?
I call BULL $&*T

If network traffic is expanding @ over 300% year over year, is $18,000,000,000 going to be enough to even maintain the crappy service you currently have? Maybe you should kick up the investment portion of the balance sheet…

I think his Q cards should have been over the camera. It looked like he was looking to his right most of the time.
