Picture messages on Hero

I have an HTC Hero Sprint, phone. My service provider is not sprint, i live in Alaska and have ACS as my provider. I was told that my phone will not do picture messaging, and that it was a phone limitation not a network one. Other users have picture messaging on their blackberries.

Can someone recommend a good app for SMS and MMS that might allow me to send picture messages.

thanks,

Dustin
 
I think it stores messages in both programs. if you turn notifications off you just wont see the notifications from the stock messenger. but you will get them from handcent. i get the little download button with handcent. I am having an issue when someone with sprint sends me a picture mail i just get a box with a an arrow in it.

Did any of these programs work for you? I tried the Handcent but it has yet to send a picture message, I'm in the same boat though I have the HTC Hero and I go through ACS I think they are coming out with an update soon to fix the picture messaging issue.
