Attaching a file to an SMS/MMS message 8

Attaching a photo or video to an SMS/MMS message is a fairly straight-forward task. You can either push a multimedia file to a new message from another app, such as directly from the Photo or Video app, or you can attach it directly from within a text message. The easiest way to do this is to tap the Paperclip button icon in the bottom-right corner of the screen to load up a photo selection screen, choose your desired folder and then photo, and tap the "Attach Photo" button. If you want to send a video, use the SMS Photo Video icons icons on the bottom of the screen to switch between photos and videos.

SMS - Attach File You will notice that once you start writing your message, the Paperclip button icon turns into a SMS - airplane button icon to send the message. If you want to attach a file after this, you don't need to first delete your text to get the Paperclip button icon back. Instead, just swipe-down from the top-left of the screen to bring down the Messaging application drop-down menu and select "Attach File" and follow the same steps as above.

semi-amusingly I got a Google Nexus S ad pop up when previewing this in the Google Reader online...

You can also send contacts via mms from the contact application. Very handy when meeting new clients and customers.

install the 'audio/video attachments' patch to send audio files through the messaging application.

the problem is not how, the point is that, with the Palm Pre 2, you have a MMS limitation size limit of 900 KB and you can't change the camera options so, eventually, if you don't have a photo editor, you can't send MMS :(

So, with your (Verizon, I assume) Pre2, you'll have to upload to facebook (wall?) and then go to that pic and download the compressed version first prior to MMS send? Silly. Damn Verizon and wireless bandwidth throttles...

good Tip & thank you..,
