the picture mail works fine on the Vogue. i'm not sure why all the problems. to get it setup the first time, i had to unload home. then set it up. then reload home. after that, it worked fine. it was a little quirky about things but it worked pretty good. it works the exact same was as the current version works on the pro. i guess it is possible, however, that the version i was running on my vogue was different than the one posted here. i'm not really sure. it looked exactly like the version on my pro looks.
the problem with sMMS that everyone just seems to love is that it's slower than molasses. by time it connects to the picturemail server, checks your account, downloads any new picturemail you may have, i could have drank 2 cups of coffee.
