Maemo is not Symbian. This is the same 'mistake' people make with MMS, portrait mode, T9, etc. The things that were written for Symbian (before Qt) can't just be copypasted into Maemo. The APIs of the two are so different that you need to rewrite those features (which Symbian also didn't gain in a single release) from scratch.

And as for counting what is and isn't included in the box - you certainly can view things that way, but it's neglecting one of (if not *the*) strongest aspect of Maemo.
