So what you are saying is to support open source they must write ALL their own code? Because they couldn't just say "MMS will be supported on X date" if their own developers are not the ones working on that support. The nature of open source is that a lot of people are doing it for free, so you cannot pressure them into getting MMS support finished and Nokia staff are busy fixing the core functionality.

They also made it pretty clear the N900 is not meant to be the perfect phone, its a transitional device. Its basically a case of "get something to market now to promote interest". The whole idea being that by Maemo 6 things will be more complete. That to me is actually a pain for the end user for a very open source way of doing it, rather than doing everything behind closed doors.

If anything my personal biggest complaint is that Ovi Maps is not as complete as the version on cheaper Symbian devices, but that in fact seems to be caused by focusing more on open source than commercial support.
