I got a T-Mobile micro SIM from their store for free last week. Web site (at least at that time) was listing it for free as well.

/usr/bin/mmsd didn't seem to have a user agent string in it

What I would do is open every file I could find that relates to mms on the device. Then use a search function to find "agent". Always make a back up of the original file before editing and if you export the file to windows make sure you use an editor that will retain linux permissions.

Idk what the actual program name is but since it is integrated in conversations (is it even called that in harmattan?) it may not even be called mms ...the actual name for conversations in fremantle is rtcom-messaging.

This problem needs to be fixed and I think it would be better resolved if developers contact tmobile instead of end users. I'm sure they already have contacts with tmobile and can do test to confirm this issue has been resolved. The bug is not wasting time but being resourceful to fix an issue.

yes you're right it is definitely a devs job to resolve carrier side issues on a phone that is not even supposed to be sold in the US.

Well....an attempt to fix a T-mobile screw up, at the very least. I don't think the devs could do any better than we could (like Mike said, it's not really their issue, per say), but I suppose there's a slim chance it could do some good.

Probably a feature request for the ability to change the user agent as an enhacment would be inline with what devs do ... I doubt that they would but it is definitly a valid request and with enough votes who knows.

It would be GREAT to be able to change the user agent with an easy app etc...
We probably have a better chance of that than T-Mobile adding the N9.
