Never really carried a grudge, just didn't use it. My wife has an iphone, also, so emails worked fine. Most people I know don't use MMS either, as they don't pay for messaging.

Like Jevangil, I don't really have a grudge to "forgive" them for. I think it was short sighted of them to not have it with the release of OS 3.0, but that's big business moving slowly for you.
Title says it all... are you still holding a grudge against AT&T or have you been kind enough to forgive and forget?
This is not about MMS, per se. Rather it is about AT&T discriminating among customers based upon the phone that they chose. Not only has that not changed, it shows little chance that it will.
I felt the same way when Palm discriminated among customers based upon the carriers that they chose.
I do not like "exclusive agreements" between phone vendors and carriers. I do not like SIMlocking. At some price, I should be able to use any phone that I like on any carrier that I like. Then it should be up to me to decide whether or not I am willing to pay that price.
I think that this kind of discrimination is bad business practice and I intend to keep saying so whenever I see it.

The lack of MMS was just one thing that angered AT&T customers and for some it was the only thing that angered them. So with it finally coming, thought it would be a good idea for those who actually did hold a grudge due to MMS. Or lack there of.

Perhaps. However, I hope that their customers do not give AT&T too much credit for undoing late what they should never have done in the first place.

I never had a grudge against AT&T. Never used MMS before. It will be nice that now I don't have to use that dumb website for the maybe 3 times a month friends send me an MMS. But AT&T's service is far better than the Tmobile service I left for the iPhone.
I don't hold a grudge. The iPhone did not have MMS when i bought it, even so, I managed to have MMS for the majority of the time I owned an iPhone. On Sept 25th, I just get the option to call AT&T and ***** if it doesn't work
Getting mad about it would be like getting mad because the The DVD player I bought (knowing it only played standard DVDs) doesn't play blueray.
I was frustrated by the wait after it was announced, but nothing to hold a grudge over.
