MMS (Multi Media Stuff) messages are texts with a picture from someone else's phone. Until 2008 when everyone got iphones, they were pretty popular. Iphones can't send them, nor can they recieve them. Kind of.
When your iphone gets sent a MMS you get a text from whoever sent it that says:
I sent you a multi media message, you can view it online at http://viewmymessage.com
login: kFq4CtFf7q
password: eelsballs
and the iphone, because it's an awesome internet phone will allow you to click on the URL and bring you to the login screen at View My Message .com. Sadly, the impossible to remember login and random words password are back in your text app and didn't make it across. It's an iphone and while "Copy and Paste" is on the apple's to-do list, they were too busy making sure Crash Bandicoot would run well on it for all 10 complete suckers who care.
Now what you do is go back to your text application (or whatever you wanna call it) and you grab a pencil and some paper and you write down the login/pass so you can go BACK to your web browser and type them in.
Pretty awesome effort to put forth for a picture of your friend in a bar.
No copy/paste. Fine. To be perfectly frank, outside of this one instance I don't feel much of a need for it. But it's been a year and a half. AT&T built a website around people not being able to recieve MMS messages. It's obviously an issue, and so I have to wonder, why has no one up in the gilded white halls of Cupertino come up with the simple idea that when an iphone receives a MMS it understands that it's an MMS and enters the login/pass for you? Even better: it downloads the damn picture to a MMS folder in your pictures app.
Over a year now. I can watch youtube videos, shake it to find arbitrary restaurants and get the weather in Saint Tropez, but I can't get pictures of my sister's dog in the pool.
