Did he happen to mention any reason for why it isn't sporting MMS yet?

Amen to that. No MMS support is just unbelievably silly. AT&T's viewmymessage.com's ridiculous usernames/passwords combined with iPhone's lack of copy/paste means that I have to use my computer to check MMS messages because no way can I remember those long, random usernames! My wife and I both have iphones, so if either of us receive an MMS, we use the other's phone to check it so we can have the two side-by-side to read the username/password. Maybe that's AT&T's plan with Apple. Let's make it SO unusable that folks have to have TWO iphones and TWO phone contracts just to use MMS! How masterfully evil.

Apple has said why many times. Because they included a far superior technology, rich text email. However, don't put me down for supporting Apple on this one, while they have a good reason, its too early, as many people still use MMS. I would be fine with Apple not introducing MMS support as long as they don't block and discourage it through the App Store.

Viewmymessage.com is a joke. It's barely useable on a T1 line, let alone 3G support. Apple and AT&T have to do better than that.
