I agree.  Too bad MMS won't be supported.  My carrier charges me the same
price per MMS as per SMS and a single MMS can carry a lot more information
than a single SMS can (1000 chars vs 160).  I'm really not sure about
shoehorning TCP into MMS (I'd rather just have the phones exchange data
messages encoded straight in the MMS).

As it is, I hope MMS support can be added to the MoKo (i.e. the hardware
support is there and it's just a software component that needs to be
written)
