@ YoDude no the size of a MMS is not limited by the standard but providers can define their own maximum, and max 300 kB is recommended, according to Wikipedia.

WTF? No way.

I have to pay 10 EUR for unlimited SMS. I'm pretty damn sure in developed countries SMS are not free.

MMS is not free here either. Can't even get unlimited amount of these. This while NL is one of the cheapest countries to use voice and data!

And, if you don't have a data plan, you even pay for receiving a MMS. This is because the data received is downloaded by using the WAP or HTTP protocol, and this costs data.

MMS is about accessibility to more users and compatibility with most users as well.
Backwards compatibility indeed.

When you'd now receive a MMS with the N900 it will look like garbage because the SMS contains a binary encoded URL to the data.
