Not necessarily, for example, UMTS/HSPA was also specifically designed to handle MMS but the N900 can't do that due to complications of integrating linux with telephony stack (or possibly a bug or something else). And 5800 (or other Symbian phone) isn't an accurate indicator of what the N900 can do.

This is a big step forward - integrating linux with 3G, so I think it's prudent to watch reviews and videos to ensure that certain functionality or use cases do in fact work.
