Ya Americans need something else to make life easier and keep them fat. Heaven forbid having to walk some where. Wile we are at it stairs should be out lawed and escalators should be mandatory in all houses. I also think we should add snickers bars to salads.

I can understand what you are saying as far as the tethering. But I mean come on every phone out right now except for the iphone can do MMS. I don't think the impact would be very much more then what they currently see. I'm sure before all these iphone uses had an iphone they were sending picture and video messages with what ever phones they were using.

It's a flat out lie that AT&T is claiming their network does not support these features and even after the update we will have to wait a few months for them to implement them. I had a phone about a year and a half ago that was able to sent MMS. My coworkers black berry sends video, picture messages and hooks up to his laptop to provide internet. AT&T is flat out lying when they say their network is not cable of supporting these features yet. I'm getting sick and tired of their BS and I think if Apple offers this phone on another network I would be likely to jump ship because of their shenanigans.
