That's simply argument by authority :)

MMS is just e-mail where the telco can charge per message. For the  
consumer e-mail is superior. It is free, it is widely used and it is  
more flexible.

E-mail is here and not going away. MMS came in and got a bit wider  
support on the mobile platform than e-mail (just for sending pics  
though). As soon as most phones support decent e-mail it will go again.

I've only once received an MMS. Which was from you, and I couldn't  
read it. My MMS-supporting SE K610EM just told me that I had to visit  
some web page and log in. Hmm.

I think the only reason MMS is used at all today is to send pictures  
taken with the phone and only because the interface on most phones is  
not easy enough to do it by e-mail.

If you want I can show you with some screen shots how you take a pic  
on the iPhone and e-mail it to someone?
