yep, so far ok IMO.

It's a 8-bit SMS because it has to set the UDH data, where the
receiving port is defined.

yep, it can. Or I should say it will. The main problem is that Kannel
lacks currently the WTP-SAR (segmenation and re-assembly)
functionality to segment large WTP connections.

Hmmm, that's not nice by T-Mobile :)

the HTTP server is again only a transport/gateway. Basically you need
an application server that does the MMS related encoding/decoding and
processing.

yep, the application logic (the MMS Server) has to be behind HTTP
server.
