Why cannot iPhone 3G take advantage of applications that uses compass?
Why can they all run OS 3.1.2?

You missed the point. It's not about what's been added to the firmware/hardware. It's the fact the OS - as in Maemo 5 & Maemo 6 - may not be upgradeable on the N900.

They don't have the hardware for those features.

However they get all features that can be supported by their hardware and there is a consistent platform for developers to target.

My N82 always shows the homescreen in portrait mode even when everything else is in landscape. The N85 and other phones support landscape homescreen but not mine. There's no reason why it shouldn't have gotten that feature.

I don't think anyone has a bee in their bonnet. I'm sure we're all Nokia fans here and want to buy Nokia products but get disappointed by some aspects of how they do business.

I'm sure people will put together custom builds etc for the N900 but I'm really thinking of the normal user and of Nokia products in general.

Maemo 6 = multi-touch + capacitive screen => not fully possible on N900

No they don't.

The first iPhone version has hardware that is fully capable of supporingt MMS, but Apple decided not to allow it in iPhone 3 OS upgrade for original iPhone.

I'm not saying their support is perfect which is why Nokia should do even better.

Correct but there likely will be other features people will like on their N900 and which are supportable. It would also be nicer for developers to just have to worry about Maemo 6.

Thank you for answering your own earlier question. Its nothing more than the hardware limitation. How are you going to get a capitative screen on a resistive screen.
why did apple excluded 1st Gen iPhone for MMS where its hardware supports it completely?

There's no reason why the N82 can't have a landscape home screen, there are mods for it.

As I said earlier the N900 won't be able to support all features of Maemo 6 but it should get the features it can support.

You could ask Apple about the MMS thing.

Sorry, but you are clearly moving goal posts. In your earlir post you said: However they get all features that can be supported by their hardware and there is a consistent platform for developers to target.
