I think it's a problem on Sprints end. I had problems with MMS last night too (I've NEVER had MMS problems).

 

yea I had the same problem numerous times, you have to hard reset the phone, pissed me right off the 3 times I had to do it. Over time it just happens.

 

Once you start getting that useless download button a hard reset is the only thing that will fix MMS, however its only a temporary fix and I personally didn't think resetting my phone all the time was worth it. After doing a hard reset the problem came back after a month and I have never chosen to do it again. Instead I have people email me pics or I check them on the sprint picture mail website. I also haven't upgraded to 2.1 because of the problems people are having. I know how to work around my problem on 1.5 and I'm just not sure that I'm ready to deal with new problems.

 

I only had to hard reset once problem never came back.

 

I got this phone in Oct. 09 and never had this MMS problem until mid April. WTF? Knowing that 2.1 was coming soon and not wanting to reset up the whole phone I didn't want to go the hard reset route. I found that if the sender resent the same message the picture came through. Definitely not an ideal solution, but it gets them to show up at least. Might work for you too.

 

My MMS is working again even though it wasn't last night.

No hard reset, no soft reset.... just an FYI.
