First off i'm no apple fan. I don't own any of their kit because i think its over-priced (this is despite getting phat bonuses from the hedge fund i work for) I don't see how the average person who buys their stuff hasn't found better things to spend the money on. Seriously their markup in immense.
BUT.
Push email is so much better than MMS. Fact. Better quality, if you've got HSDPA (which the iPhone dosen't of course, neither does o2, but t-mobile has amazingly good coverage in london) A collection of high resolution pictures my flat mate emailed of our kitten downloaded in about 5 seconds.
Push email is practically instant (has the potential to be more instant than MMS) but uses more chatter often. (and wastes battery). I agree MMS is a basic feature that the UK market would expect for sending kinky pictures of themselfs to loved ones, but apple fans don't need that when they can just send an email.
