Implementing MMS would have meant dragging the ancient WAP 1.2.1 standard used for the push notificatiom to a modern computer OS in times when our target audience wants to share high quality images to Flickr, Facebook, Picasa, Ovi and so on. MMS receipt would maybe gotten us far enough, so others can send her photo to you, but we decided to put our R&D into other areas. I hope consumers will forgive us for the time being.
Peter.. Thanks for the most informative response to this issue I have seen. However.. MMS has to be part of this device. It absoutely has to and will lose many many consumers by not being there. I know a lot don't use it but a lot do also and are not all on data plans or using websharing..which is not instant like MMS/SMS. Big mistake! I was going for N900 and have been Nokia Fan for years but now....well IPhone (reluctantly) or Motorola Droid/Milestone... Sorry Nokia.
