So, for the past few months since i've had my iPhone I haven't been able to receive picture text messages. A buddy of mine has said for months that he's sent me picture texts and I always tell him his phone is a piece of shit because I'm not getting them. Well, today I finally remembered to call my wireless provider to ask them if this was a problem on my end, or maybe I had to subscribe to something to enable this feature. The girl kinda laughed at me and said "the iPhone doesn't have picture messaging".
I told her to forgive me for assuming that a top of the line $200+ phone doesn't have a feature that most $10 phones have. I honestly did not know the iPhone couldn't do picture messaging. I never use it, so it's not a big deal to me but I'm curious, is this a hardware limitation or why can't the phone perform what appears to be such a simple task?

Thanks for the answer. Seriously, I didn't know about this at all. It's a feature I have never used on any cell phone I've owned. I know this is old news for people here but I wasn't aware and was pretty surprised when she told me that.LCfiner said:

I just followed the instructions to the letter, and subsequently deleted 6 months of contacts, many of them important.. Fuuuuuuuucckkkkk
Don't do this if you are a fucking idiot like me. 6 months of contacts lost, and now I'm in Taiwan with no way of getting them back.

I bought an application called Fetch My MMS that expedites the process. Not perfect, but best there is for US AT&T.bluemax said:

I can't get out of the mobile version of sears.com for the life of me. Any know the force link.
Anyone here happy with their service with AT&T and their iphone? My contract with t-mobile is up and I am considering AT&T and getting the 3G, I currently have an unlocked iphone non-3G. I'm considering moving to AT&T and keeping my older unlocked phone as a backup.

ATT is hit or miss for my girlfriend and I in Chicago. Call failures have been much less since the update that come late last fall, but there's still a lot of buildings and areas (like the entire block where my apartment is) where 3G doesn't come in.

I've always been frustrated by how cumbersome it is to move apps around in the iPhone / iPod OS, so I made this mockup of how I think it should be handled on iTunes. I didn't think it deserved a whole new thread so I thought I'd post it here; if it gets a good reception, maybe I'll submit it to Engadget or Gizmodo or something.

Bump, because I had to delete and reupload the video.

I really like the concept, and it was like "oh fuck!" right when it started because it seemed so obvious for iTunes to mimic the iPhone interface for pre-arrangement, but the advanced techniques like locking a position, moving more than one, and moving an entire screen seem needless and complicated. They don't feel right. I would stick to just emulating the actual iPhone interface rather than trying to improve it within a computer app.
Can someone tell me what I have installed that makes it so I can do a quick reply to a text. When I receive one, I don't have to exit whatever I'm doing, I can just hit reply and this comes up for a quick reply. I love it but its bothering me cause my friend wants it too.
Is anything coming for the iPhone in terms of updates that is worthy of note? Or are they doing what I suspect their doing and focussing their attention on the next iPhone update (no doubt with exclusive video recording, turn by turn GPS and push email) and leaving current iPhone owners high and dry?

The concept black iPhone looks lovely, my 2nd gen touch has the chrome backing and while it looks nice I hate it, it shows every single finger print or grain of dirt that makes contact with it, i'd prefer the device to be all one colour.
Rather tempting to buy a replace case but to open such an expensive device scares me.

That's a good question because right after release there seemed to be a decent number of updates with added features and we haven't anything but tweaks for a while.

I sure hope there are some exclusive features to the new iPhone. I'm still rocking my 1st gen one and for the third iteration to be more or less the same thing with a few minor hardware additions and the same software would be disappointment. In my opinion the iPhone OS already feels antiquated. I'm not saying they should drop support of the older iPhones, but they should definitely add software features that can take advantage of the (hopefully) vastly superior hardware.

This is so wrong. On a design level, no released UIs have surpassed the iPhone (the Pre's might). I mean, generally, they're still ugly, less usable copies.

Dude.
It may be the best on the market but that doesn't mean it isn't beginning to show it's age. There better be some HUGE improvements and additions this year.
Last year we got the Appstore and while an amazing addition, it really put the spotlight on the clunkiness of the iPhone. Lack of of multitasking is inexcusable.

The new iPhone will probably be the same power as a 2nd gen touch, with some extra oomph the multi-tasking thing that's been rumoured might become true for the newer phones. I just hope if they do such things they improve the battery life, my touch goes from full to empty in about 90 minutes playing games non stop like puzzle quest, idracula or anything running at full power.
And <3 app store, everyone else is now bringing out marketplaces but I don't think they are going to hit a home run like apple have for a while. I see more iphone/touch owners then blackberry or palmtops, apple's touch being roughly the same as the iphone helps them too since people like me can afford one without a contract or selling my soul.

Help.
I've got a 16GB first generation iPod touch and the home button (the one at the bottom) suddenly stopped working today. This happened with absolutely no warning and after checking Apple's site it appears that I'm past my warranty date. Does anyone have any experience with this or am I going to have to take it to an Apple store and possibly end up paying to repair it?

Thanks for the reply. It seems here in Boston or least in my area the service with T-mobile it up or down. I have way too many dead zones in my place. My sister just switched to AT&T because she is a contractor and is on the road a lot and have had many problems with t-mobile which is why she switch. Now she is trying to get me to switch. I'm on the fence because I would love a 3G phone with 3G service, however yesterday a friend of mine told me that a new version of the iphone will be coming out this year.
Is it true will there be a new iphone introduced this year? if so, I guess I can stay out of contract with t-mobile for a while before switching, if not, then i might just go get my 3G as early as next week.
Does anyone know of any apple rumor sites that says a new iphone will be coming out soon?
Thanks
