Picture & Video Messaging On WP7??

[deadwrong03]

I remember reading somewhere that its not possible to do video or picture messaging on windows phone 7 is that a carrier issue or did microsoft leave that out? will that be implemented in the future?

picture messaging works fine, its video messaging that is missing. Not sure when its gonna get added. Seems that was MS decision (though carriers could have pushed for it).

Picture messaging works fine, you can receive video messages, but you cannot send them (except that you can forward video messages that you have received).

Not on this phone

Interesting, no my htc surround on at&t does not receive video messages not to mention not being able to send them. This is my biggest beef with wp7. A good laugh at lunch would be appreciated. Dumb phones can do this. Is it too lowbrow for Ms and their metro UI? It may seem trite but the wp7 is a visual medium. Video messaging goes hand in hand with social networking and is sorely missed.

Have most WP7's always been able to receive video messages, or is that something that came with the NoDo update? I don't remember it ever working and the next day after installing the updates I received one.

There is no way a carrier pushed for the lack of video messaging in WP7, when every other smartphone OS on every other carrier does it.

Video messaging is never an issue for them because there are size limitations in MMS and most if not all phones compress (rather heavily) the video, anyways, just as they do teh photos.

It just sucks because a lot of people still have feature phones and Picture/Video MMS functionality is a must for communicating with these people.

MMS messages can be sent & received but they just show a static image & don't play. This has been the case since before NoDo.
