Yeah the rep I talked to said that with the 3GS it is a lot harder to get working since they were all correctly provisioned when they were activated and they will not provision us like they did back in the 3.0 beta days cause it would mess up the correct provisioning. They could flip the switch for the 3GS users but want everyone to be able to use it at once, which is very stupid of them. I think the 3GS should have had the icons and been able to use it since release so that every 3G and 3GS aren't sending mms's at once.The carrier file doesn't do anything on at&t's end all it does is let the icon show up on 3.0 because on the betas I was able to send on the stock carrier file.
