... which is all nice and fine, but doesn't help if the person you want to send the image to isn't on flickr/facebook/ovi/.... and/or isn't online at the time.

The charming thing about MMS is that, unlike email for most people, it will appear on the receivers end instantly and even ring/beep/... to make him aware of the new message.

Yes, technically you could do the same with push mail, fancy facebook widgets and thelike, but this hasn't arrived yet. Not at the people I send MMS to.

In my own personal use-case (which, I know, Nokia doesn't care about), I don't know a lot of people I could share pictures with using online services. Only few use flickr, I can't recall anyone who uses facebook. I would have to use email, but that's nonsense... most of what I send by MMS is funstuff, things that are sent because they happen now and make sense in the context of a phone call or a SMS-chat that happened before. I'd hardly ever send the same photos by mail, because then they'd be read hours, sometimes days later and would only cause confusion.

So if it's really a technical problem: Go solve it. Quickly.
If it's the usual "nobody needs it" (like nobody needs everything else I use on a daily basis),... be prepared for my everlasting frustration. (S60 isn't all that bad, is it?)
