Sony Ericsson K800i Picture Messaging MMS configuration

I'm with O2, but bizarrely the O2 website cannot configure my phone. I had to reset my phone the other day and rather than hang on the 0870 premium rate number to get them to send the MMS config again I researched online how to do it myself. The O2 site even tells me the configuration is coming, and the PIN, but it never arrives!

Fortunately the sonyericsson.com/support site has this Picture messaging (MMS) page which can send through the configuration. Sending through the settings and applying them to my K800i created in my Settings->Messaging->MMS a new profile, "O2 WAP GPRS", containing:
  • Message server as: http://mmsc.mms.o2.co.uk:8002
  • Select Internet profile "O2 WAP GPRS" (which the O2 Active had sent the correct config)
Other useful Sony Ericsson pages, email setup, and internet settings. Related O2 technical info is HM2K site.

For such a proponent of Open Source and Open things...

Why are you using a closed-source phone of which you have no real control of what runs on it?

Do I smell double standards?

I have no real control over the software my DVD recorder, TV, Washing Machine, Telephone, Car, Camera and Mobile phone runs. I can't possibly convince vendors to open up everything. Do as I do, and watch projects like OpenMoko and buy one when you can afford it instead of a conventional phone if it has the features you need!
