That's awesome! So you can delete multiple SMS just like the Mail.app?

not exactly like, but similar, select several, then hit delete at the bottom, mail app is one by one isn't it?

you can also forward multiple, which i think is pretty funky
 
OS 3.0 tether & mms

ok, so looks like this is the case

the iphone carrier bundle file is an xml that pretty much defines the phone's data connections (and a few other things)

with os 3.0 beta, you can add a "type-mask=-2" as a key in the dictionary for the apn that should be used for tethering and mms

however, they've gone an made the assumption that the same apn will be used for both mms and tethering (i'm guessing that's how AT&T's is set up)

on vodacom, this is not the case, the "internet" and "iphone.vodacom.za" apn's do not have access to the vodacom mms gateway

only the mms.vodacom.net apn has access to the mms gateway

so, you can pretty much choose if you want tethering or mms

i've got ipcc files for either if anyone's interested

Don't think that is such a big deal, either you tether or you can send MMS's - why would you want both at the same time. Once you log off from the tethering, your MMS's will be received. I'm satisfied with that.

not entirely possible

to switch between using mms or tethering:

you have to move the type-mask = -2 parameter from the one apn to the other in the xml file, rebuild the ipcc, upload to the phone, restart the phone

.... Am I doing this on purpose??? YES :D

Sorry, maybe the thread should be re-named too...

"The iPhone Tips/Tricks/Apps thread (and yes ALL LOCALLY BOUGHT iPHONES ARE UNLOCKED!!! If you ask again...)"
 
Haha!! Shame Roland - i think you have mentioned it 3 times today alone!

That is fine with me, I don't really care about tethering as I have a 3G modem.

So where do you enter your MMS settings then?
 
I guess that's better as it won't be allowed to be in the AppStore then.

Not going to bother trying it out, never used mxit in my life...
