The Internet is buzzing about early iPhone access to MMS on AT&T despite official AT&T statements that multimedia messaging would not be available until September 25.

Reports began cropping up Sunday on Twitter and later in a ZDNet article stating that some users are now able to use MMS on their iPhones. According to those who have early access, the feature hasn't gone away yet, suggesting that it may be more than a test.

Updated on 9/14/2009 at 11:36 AM PDT: Mark Siegel, speaking on behalf of AT&T, advised us that "AT&T cannot confirm early activations of MMS on the iPhone" and that "they are still on target for the September 25th activation of MMS for all iPhone users. The activation will occur via software update on that date when users sync their iPhone in iTunes."
