1.)No one send MMS pix to an email address. If it goes to your phone number - how do you get it?
2.)It doesn't matter how good is AT&T's service if the connection sucks. Remember your connection is the most important thing on any phone- bar none.
Actually you can send MMS to an email address. It gets converted at the MMS gateway, however most are sent to the phone. The header part goes to the phone while the message resides on the server waiting for pickup.

If it one gets MMS pix sent to the iPhone- how does one pick it up? Apparently my friend with an iPhone says he can't. Thanks.
3.) Verizon has to cripple most phones because they have GSM feature that won't work with CDMA. example- the Razr.
What features are you thinking of? Aside from not connecting to GSM-based towers, I know of no Motorola-standard features that are blocked because of CDMA - only because VZW wants more money.
The most aggravating example of this is that they block BlueTooth object-exchange. VZW only lets you transfer address book entries via BT, not pictures, video clips, music or ringtones. Early versions of the firmware from VZW supported this, but then they removed the feature "for security reasons".
This is debatable as Allaboutsymbian posted that the N95 had the most widely used browser. Nokia and Apple use the same webkit and the browsers might not be identifying themselves properly. Still, I would say that the iPhone is in the top 2 or 3 phones used to surf the Internet.
Allaboutsymbian isn't exactly an objective source. Independent marketshare monitoring services that declared the iPhone the most used mobile device.
Also European carriers were reporting the iPhone using their data networks at levels they have never seen.

One way I would know if the two can plausibly be confused is to know what the user agent strings are. From past experience, the user agent string is a little different for every variation of a browser. If I want, I can read out the version string of every browser that hits my site. I seem to recall that iPhones have a specific "iPhone" string in the user agent string.
My web host splits out by OS and browser. On my site with the most traffic, I do see 12 hits from symbian this month.

Your friend can't. In my Nokia I have settings for receiving MMS as the actual message resides on a server, and only the headers are sent. I do not think it will be possible to receive MMS's unless Apple adds in a bunch more configuration functionality.

That's what I was thinking about. The user agent. Nokia and Apple use similar agents I think. An article was published about 3 months ago that details usage stats between Apple and Nokia, with Nokia coming out on top. I will try to find the article.

You keep falling back on the confusion between Safari and S60 simply because they both use webkit. There are 13 other browsers that use webkit besides Safari and S60. Its been shown several times they can easily be differentiated.
If you account all of Nokia's hundreds of various phones. Then yes it does trump the iPhone in internet marketshare. The iPhone holds the largest as a singular device.
I'm not sure what you are getting at. I was calling independent marketshare monitoring services more objective than fan websites.
The article that I mentioned was referenced from Allaboutsymbian. AAS didn't make the claim. They reported what an independent source stated. I will try to find the article for you.

AT&T sends you a text with a url and a code. That is how you get the MMS message.

Surely you don't consider this site exactly objective either do you? Seriously you don't right?

No I wouldn't call it objective, but I did not cite it as a source either.

So. For the most part the editors minus one particular person are pretty objective.
