I think there were enough features and bugs for apple to have 3.1 ready for later this summer so they just threw the carrier update in with it. I was told by an at&t rep that apple included everything to make mms work so that it was all up to at&t. They just hid the buttons in 3.0 for at&t customers for reasons like a few people said, if they were there iphone 3G and 3GS users would be calling at&t and coming around here asking why their mms isn't working. We even have people come around now and then asking why the camera icon isn't there. Depending on the bugs in 3.1 (I don't see many) I think it will definitely be in mid to late july. This isn't like going from 2.2.1 to 3.0 where there were lots of bugs.
