So far the number of MMS sent by mobile subscribers confirms that users are not seeing MMS as an obvious progression from SMS. Poutonnet showed figures for the number of MMS sent in 2003:
France 23 Million
Germany 37 Million
Italy 20 Million
Spain 17 Million
Sweden 5 Million
Switzerland 450,000
UK 27 Million

Hmm... the 450'00 MMS sent per year in 2003 do not really correspond with the figure we have from Swisscom which is 1'250'000 MMS per month. A little bit strange isn't it? Or did the MMS usage increase that quickly?

MMS-Muffel werden umerzogen:

Bei Orange wurden im zweiten Quartal dieses Jahres 3,6 Millionen MMS und 246 Millionen SMS verschickt - ein Verhältnis von 1 zu 69. Immerhin legen die Bildbotschaften zu, während die Kurzmitteilungen stagnieren. In den ersten drei Monaten 2003 lag das Verhältnis noch bei 1 zu 106.

Which says that Orange Users have sent in three months (april-june) about 3.6 million MMS, which gives us 1.2 million per month. This is almost the same amount of MMS as for Swisscom which has at least for times more customers. Hmm...
