Workaround for sending/recieving pics from non iPhone phones?

Question

So, it seems that no one who tested the iPhone thought that sending pictures back and forth to other phones was a very important feature, as we're seeing that there's no way to send a pic via SMS.
So, anyone know how I can send pictures to my GF on her Verizon phone? Or, how she can send pictures to me? (i.e. can I email to some address at verizon that translates it to an SMS, and/or can she SMS a picture to my email?)
Also, it would be good for Apple to add a preference for taking lower-resolution pictures (or some feature that auto-downsizes them when sent via email or (hopefully soon) SMS) so that those of us who send pics all day don't fill up the memories of ppl whose phones don't have 8GB of storage.
Lastly, how exactly do I upload a picture to a web site? I was trying to upload one to my LiveJournal and the "choose image" button was greyed out in Safari on my iPhone.
After one day, I am loving the phone, but I think a lot more needs to be done on the preferences end.

In the mean time, your girl friend needs to send
her
photos to your email address instead of your phone
and you can see them in your inbox. You should be
able to send her photos by sending the photo to
(her
#)@vtext.com. Example [email protected]
that doesn't work for me. Sent myself an "email"
with photo attached last night to
[email protected] and it still has not arrived,
not even as a blank email stripping out the
attachment. That is a BIG downfall, to not even
receive them
would not work sending it to an iPhone, as the data package doesn't include a @mms.att.net address. (meaning there's no option to email [email protected])
you can however send any email to [email protected] with pictures attached. (meaning you send the email to an email address synced to the iPhone and use mail to open it)
to send messages to others, (verizon specifically) you'd send an email using mail with image attached to [email protected]
