Phone features on the N900 in general are faaar behind compared to most any S60 device... It really looks like they got the most basic features working - and decided it would be good enough. (Which most probably it is for 96.498% of the consumers - sometimes I really, really wish I was one of these people who are always in some target group and get what they want. I envy those who are content with an iPhone. Really, I do.)
