iPhone 3.1 Update

[Dawgs0916]

I just updated to the newest software (3.1).

I had been told that with this update, MMS capabilities were going to be included for AT&T users. As far as I can tell it hasn't.

Anybody know what happened this time, and if it will ever be available?

AT&T is about the only carrier in the world that has MMS disabled on the iPhone at this point. It's not a matter of the phone, the iPhone is capable and has been activated. It's a matter of AT&T feeling their infrastructure can't support it (and coming up with a good way to gouge customers with an added fee). I'd imagine it's hard to justify another fee to customers who already shell out 20 bucks a month for unlimited data.

So yes, the update did enable MMS support for the iPhone for any carrier, the problem here is AT&T.

3.1 also takes away options on the Passcode...

As an Exchange user I am getting my email on my iPhone. I have auto lock at 1 minute. There was an option to require the Passcode after one hour of no use...

Now 5 minutes is the maximum time. I wish I had never upgraded at this point...

Thats the thing I was told, and read, that AT&T was going to enable it with this update. Pretty frustrating.

I haven't upgraded anything yet.

As a Jailbreaker I'm still ahead of the curve.

DevTeam and others are about finished with a JB 3.1 solution. I'm expecting a new JB out Sep 25th.
