While the service isn’t available for all AT&T subscribers just yet, a sizeable number of people are now able to handle MMS messages on their iPhone. This comes as a bit of a surprise for those who had been counting down to the official September 25th. launch date, but I suspect the process will be a gradual rollout that culminates in full coverage by that day. MMS has been a long time coming, that’s for sure, and finally offering it will plug one of the bigger holes in the iPhone experience. I wonder if that class action lawsuit will dissolve now that AT&T’s finally getting their act together… Anyway, let’s gather some coverage info – who’s able to send and recieve MMS on their iPhone in the U.S., and who can’t?
