I'm saying, that they're treating Open Source phone a little bit less serious than closed source phones. They could write: MMS will be available in future firmware release (without giving concrete date). Paying one good developer for making it (during few months in worst case) shoudln't be very expensive (I remind, there are Open Source codes and Nokia has got already own sources too). Speaking, that Maemo 5 is transition only is excuse for me.
