if you are jailbroken, download a program called sendpics. It works flawlessly!
hope that helps.

not jailbroken stock only. But one question I do have is what is jailbroken.

jailbroken is a term that means you can change certain things regarding your icons, add an application called installer which allows you to download all sorts of apps for free. Search around for it for a better description. You can go to www.ziphone.com and read more about it. It is only a matter of time before f/w 2.0 is jailbroken, it should be posted within the next 2 weeks or so from what I have read.

ok so i understand i can click a picture and email it. but what about composing an email to someone in, say gmail, there is nowhere to attach photo or document.

Can you send email without a photo straight from email app? Who is your email provider?

[tha5150]

yea, i can go to gmail on the phone and send an email to my aim account and send it back.. just reconfirmed that.

[gibby71]

That is strange. I would suggest to try and remove you gmail account and re add it. If that doesn't fix do a restore of phone in iTune. If still not working I would head to the apple store and have them take a look.

i dont understand what your asking. i CAN send an email from mail, gmail, send mail.

i CAN send a picture from my photos...

the question was, i cant reply to an email and attach a picture in gmail or aim, nor exchange for that matter (which i havent figured out yet)

Opps sorry, you hijacked a thread. I thought you where the OP, and I was trying to help them. No you can not make an attachment to a email you are typing. If you want to send a pick you have to send it directly from the photo app or some other application from app store.

[tha5150]

my bad!!!! hahaha

Actually, no. I just tried to email myself and it says "Message delivery failed" or something.

What the hell?

My friend's phone was doing the same thing this morning and then all of the failed attemps suddenly went through. How long has it been since you first attempted to send the pic? Her phone took less than 5 minutes to send it after it initially failed.

Make sure you have you outgoing SMTP set up correctly. Who is your email provider?
