Curt, I was talking about i-shot. sending by mail a URL not
only to a GIF/JPEG image but a properly rendered Web page,
a post card, and links for playback audio/video clips from
streaming servers, is a idea we've been working on for years
within WAP/3GPP. but few users'll want to do it manually ...
they're not as good as Curt.
there are many products on the market since a year and half ago,
Ericsson, CMG, Nokia, Comverse, and Logica. none is perfect but
even the poorly designed ones are far better than Sha-Mail, not
even to mention the sick i-shot.

just the facts I observed:
- 251i/i-shot is a poor imitation of Sha-Mail, and
- 504i/DoJa2 is hardly the same level as J-SH08/51/JSCL.
machiuke + 3D engine are standard J-Phone features since J-SH07
more than a year ago, and J-Phone has been providing the service
at low price: 8 + 8 yen for send-recv vs. i-shot's 10 + 20 yen.
if you want picture messaging, J-SH08 is the choice, and if you
also want MP3, SD card, and 28.8 kb/s packet, there's nothing
as J-SH51. both are about the same or better than DoCoMo's new
504i/251i phones, and J-SH09 and J-SH52 are coming soon (maybe
in a month time).
btw, you could say I "hate" Movie Sha-Mail. au/KDDI is where
you should go for movies. it's really a hard job to transfer
motion pictures over the 3-channel PDC air-interface (and we
got this silly Nancy).
cheers,
Ken
