What has happened to "9210/9210i with MMS software" thread?

Is it possible to create this kind of software? and if exists where can I find it?

Nothing is impossible but standard MMS works over GPRS.The Communicator doesn't support GPRS,only CSD.I'm not saying that MMS can't work over CSD but i really don't see it happening.

Well, MMS standard doesn't define the bearer to be used, so basicly whatever can be used, CSD, GPRS...

The thing with the 9210(i) is that it doesn't support WAP push. MMS standard defines that WAP push is used to deliver the notification message to the phone. As a conclusion: It's not possible to do a MMS client for 9210(i) that complies the MMS standard.

But WAP push has to be in the hardware of the phone?

What do you mean by "in the hardware?"

I don't know what is WAP push but an implementation of something is either on the hardware of the phone or in the software.

If it's in the software it could be implemented(in teory).

It's software, but the APIs needed for the implementation are closed.
