Swedish iPhone users get MMS, what about everyone else?

iPhone users in Sweden now have another reason to avoid jailbreaking their phone. One of the largest complaints about the iPhone worldwide is its lack of MMS, a feature that almost every phone has had for years. In Sweden, that complaint will be nonexistent within two months, according to Ben Olsson, a spokesperson for Telia, the Swedish iPhone carrier. According to him, Telia is currently in the works of launching an application that will allow their customers to send multimedia messages such as pictures, audio, and video over their wireless network.

Although the iPhone has a great and simple-to-use interface for sending images and other media through e-mail, the phone currently only supports SMS, or text messages. Being that it is such an advanced phone (dare I say, smartphone), it has come as quite a shock to most of its users that Apple has left out MMS. We’re happy that Sweden will have it soon, but we can’t wait for Apple to release this for other parts of the world, as well. It sure would come as a nice surprise in the iPhone 2.2 software update.
