i'm getting sick and tired of all these people who buy a phone without java-support, without portrait-mode in the main UI, without MMS or video calls, without voice dialing etc etc - and then expect it would grow these features magically overnight while in the drawer. and complain if it doesn't.

if you need a phone with java support, buy one. if you buy one without, it was you who made the decision.

but...but....it was in every nokia phone i've ever owned

But the point is
- how informed is the decision ?
- Secondly, how informative is the marketing campaign of the seller ?

Perhaps a day wld come when sellers are forced to put up non-capabilities along with the capabilities in the spec sheet.

Having said that, how many of us noobs wld even look into details ! Most of the basic features are considered 'must haves' and are taken for granted, when the cheaper phones or the so called 'dumb phones' around us provide them ootb.

As we stated at the Nokia Capital Markets Days conference, we will introduce a new MeeGo-based device in the second half of 2010.

Who knows what kind of device is it?
A N910?

I know nobody who makes a €500,- decision uninformed or only based on a marketing campaign. If people do this, they should not complain afterwards. But that's not the point. The point is:

I agree that some of the things that the N900 doesn not support are strange or unexpected, especially from a Nokia phone... Much cheaper phones can do a lot more than the N900. But you're still free to send it back, sell it, whatever. You expected MMS support, you find it doesn't have MMS after you bought it - get rid of it. Depending on various factors you may be able to simply return it, get another phone or your money back, if not you can sell it... It's always your decision. And that's fine.

What's not OK is to keep it, sit back and expect Nokia to "fix" all the issues that aren't broken from their point of view in the first place. They don't intend to provide Java on the N900? OK, so why do people still expect that they will some day and keep ranting? I don't understand this attitude. It may happen that somebody doesn't have the right information before he buys the phone... but certainly everyone has the complete information after he bought the phone, so he or she has to act upon that and must not wait for Nokia to change the phone according to his/her wishes.
