So here we go:

1. MMS will not be available from the beginning, possible due to the Linux/WAP kernel issue. But I need a CLEAR answer if MMS will come in the near future or not.
2. SMS Delivery Reports. Does the device support them? If not, are they coming?
3. Does a Birthday/Anniversaries entries from the Contacts gets display on Calendar?
4. Video Call. When the device will support Video Call over network? Also can we expect VoIP Video Call using Skype, Google Talk etc.?
5. What are the changes to see full vertical support for the whole menu and home-screens with a "Maemo 5.5" or any other similar update?
1. There isn't a clear answer.
2. The people who know that are probably under NDA.
3. Looks like someone already answered.
4. There likely won't be any artificial restrictions on which apps can use which network connection. In Maemo4 we saw SIP Video and Gizmo Video, but not Skype. On Maemo5 we can assume at the very least SIP Video, but other than that, it's not clear yet. With that kind of power and the availability of GTalk video on the linux desktop the only thing that I'm not sure about happening eventually is Skype.
5. Unknown
