2. MMS limits 350kb per message
3. N900 requires software to compress image down to MMS size
4. Waste of resource to develop this functionality when the N900 can take advantage of the 3G & HSPDA network to upload high quality photos, link can be sent through message or social networking sites.
5. In order to see the MMS, the other person would need an MMS compatible phone
6. Not a lot of demand for MMS nowdays to be honest, users take the photos with the camera on their phone (N900) they prefer to go home and upload it on the net (Facebook, twitter etc) rather than sending an MMS to a dozen of contacts.

1. And?
2. Does it do the job, "sharing the moment"? Yes. Then, so what? Are we expecting to have poster size printout quality for "sharing the moment"?
3. Which MMS enabled phone doesn't do that?
4. Waste of chance where people don't have access to those advanced features or don't know hot to use them; but MMS is as common and intuitive as SMS is.
5. In order to benefit from other solutions, you still need a solution enabled phone. Also, how many modern phones (except very cheap ones) are there without MMS compatibility? I'm sure they're more than web/mail etc enabled phones.
6. Do you think all the world is behaving as the people around you? Also, does it hurt to have MMS besides using modern web?

Abandoning MMS for net based services is kinda like abandoning SMS for IM services. I know they have their advantages and maybe we can abandon both and more in the future, but no; now is not the exact right time.
