I won't really be using MMS either. I guess I could use it when sending pics or vids to people with dumb phones that don't have email.

It probably wont be. You have no idea the hell ATT will/is going through with just the iPhone, tethering will just multiply their problems. Unless they can upgrade their networks like crazy in a decent amount of time, it wont happen at any great rate.

(maybe 4g)

bingo and by then Apple won't be tied to AT&T.

But still, that's cool about MMS. They said by the end of summer and were close enough.

Did they just bring it out recently? From what I read they were not going to support it, or charge a lot more if they were to support it. Also if they would support it, with the amount of growth happening they wouldnt have been able to sustain it without spending a lot of money to upgrade their network.

Tethering has been available for a while now. It's not authorized by Apple or AT&T but a lot of iPhone owners have been doing it for some time.

I have never had anything against AT&T and their service but I have to admit, they have dropped the ball with the iPhone. I can honestly say AT&T won't wake up until the competition gets a hold of the phone.

Even if it doesn't it'll be like $150 to get out of hell. It'll be worth it.
