MMS as email for guys who got one of those 300 Phones
 
Here is a quick question for you guys who have the N900 right now.
What does phone do if somebody will send you an email containing picture on your phone numbers email;
for eg if i sent and email to your phone and you are with tmobile and your number is 555-555-5555, on the (To: ) i put 5555555555@tmomail.net do you receive that picture or you just get a link to go to see the picture i sent you?

I think they should get an SMS, but not sure. Good question. I used to use that workaround on the PC, but don't know how a user can access that email addy without an MMS client on device. Maybe someone will figure that part out.

He is lacking far more than an N900

I'd be interested to try, but my current SIM and provider aren't compatible with the N900. It'd be an excuse to play with MMS though, having never sent or received such a message on any phone. If I get a T-Mobile or AT&T SIM, I'll be happy to have a go.

I'd be more than happy to test it with you except my provider does not offer e-mail in the same way TMO does, sorry.

I've used the N900, but not my own personal yet. Preorder. But does that mean I can't answer a question or comment on a statement? And call me Chris, not "the only guy without one". I am in the room, you know.

"The person who does not have it" != "The only guy without one."

Chill man, you keep reading too much into (and beyond) what people are actually saying here.

That's what I'd call impatient.
To answer your question: Just try and send me a message?

Would this work http://www.mms2web.com/technology.htm it talks about converting MMS to e-mail at the MMSC. There is another MMSC here http://www.nowsms.com so some kind of service which converts a MMS to an e-mail would work, too. Best is if your telco supports this themselves.
