As far as I can recall, I've always been able to attach a picture to an email, both on my 8700 since I've had it and my 7100 before that. I don't think the 8703 would be any different (and see the post by hudres, above). Can't explain that review. I'll repeat, if a battery pull doesn't restore the menu item and you are not using the latest OS, try an upgrade and see if that gives you this functionality.
