But I agree, the iPhone has done a move forward with these feature.

I've already tested, several times, an iPhone 3G from a friend of mine, over a WE. And I think I could test the new one the next week.

But again, I never say it's a bad device. I only raise some issues that “iPhonized people” have point out on the web.
But I think also annoying that some Apple blinded fans do not accept criticism. Sure, It's not the case with you Fred

(2) MMS has never been popular due (most of the time) to a pretty bad interface — especially with low-end devices.

(3) Yes probably, I didn't say anything about that — it's a non issue for me.

Actually, I don't understand what do you mean about “badly implemented”. Hardware? Software?

I've an old mobile phone (Samsung SGH-E300) which runs fine
any MMS or MMS editing. Simple and Fast.

And my last remark: My very old mobile phone supports the Copy/Paste feature for years
