True, but that "data-less" demographic is getting smaller and smaller every day...and I'd wager that most of the people who are buying the N900 probably don't converse with African farmers on a daily basis as a rule, much less send snapshots. There are corner cases yes..but are those corner cases justification enough for whatever efforts and delays that including the functionality would have entailed. I humbly submit the answer is "no".

That said, I'm not *against* them including MMS in any device (N900 or otherwise)..more functionality can only be a good thing as long as it's optional to use. I just don't think it's the disaster that many make it out to be if it's not there at launch (or ever, for that matter).
