Posted on the Sprint Buzz About Wireless forum by a Sprint Forum Administrator

Sprint would like to provide an update in response to recent inquiries about sending pictures from Sprint’s Windows Mobile devices to other mobile phones. Currently Sprint’s Windows Mobile devices support sending/receiving pictures between any valid email address and receiving Sprint Picture Mail pictures from mobile phones via text messaging. Picture Mail pictures received via text messaging appear as a URL that is viewable from the Windows Mobile device’s Web browser. Sprint currently does not offer the capability to send pictures to other mobile phones by entering the mobile number to share photos. To address this issue, we are currently working on two solutions:

1. We expect to offer a free Picture Mail software download later this year that will enable all customers with existing Windows Mobile 6 devices to send pictures to other mobile phone numbers (normal usage fees will apply).
2. Beginning later this year, all future Windows Mobile device models from Sprint will be preloaded with the full Picture Mail application.

In the interim we would like to remind customers that pictures can be shared from Windows Mobile devices to any email account via the Options/Send menu on the device. Pictures can also be shared from Windows Mobile devices through the use of Bluetooth, beaming and synchronization capabilities, and removable memory cards. We will continue to communicate updates here as the exact timelines and solutions are finalized.

bla bla bla, same ol sprint BS im sure. If Ive learned one thing from these forums its this....dont believe a DERN thing that comes from sprint until its out and downloadable and then one needs to wait for DCD to fix it so it will work better.
although sprint gets great coverage and all that, they speak with fork-ed tung.

What took them so long is that now, they're charging for anything over 5Gig/month usage. Sure, make sure you use up all your available data bandwidth, NOW we charge for it.

This might be old news (it was posted Oct, 30th) but for those who are *paying* for 3rd party picture mail apps: get Sprint's free program by going to the Sprint Software store in your WM web browser (softwarestore.sprint.com) and going to the Free/Demo category and you can download/install the Sprint Picture Mail application.
