Open fMMS
Click 'New MMS'
Add recipient
Insert Image/Sound byte
Add text
Press send

How is this different from any other implementation of Multimedia Messaging, not picture messaging which is completely different?

If you don't even have the latest version, how can you moan?

"I use windows XP but I'm pissed off because it doesn't do what Windows 7 does".
How ridiculous is that?!

Frals is working on this, but TBH considering Nokia didn't even bother with an MMS app I think this slight shortcoming (which no one I know would ever use anyway) can be overlooked.

You can if they are within the 300kb limit (set my the networks, not fMMS)

And of course playback of those things.
I'm sure this will come with the ability to add multiple images.
(what's the point though, it all has to be under 300kb)

This wasn't there natively so go whine to Nokia as they're the ones responsible. Don't ***** about what frals has done to circumvent this shortcoming.

Then describe what you want, if you did this ONCE it would avoid all this unnecessary noise.

Am I missing something..you can do this and always have been able to.

In what way, describe how you would like it to work.

Err, I would have done that to start with.

Err, yea, that might be worth a try.

So far you have one valid point to your otherwise pathetic argument/rant/moan/PMS fit.
