But so it doesn't get lost in the mix: I do agree Nokia.com should explain this better. They do link to the info, and to maemo.nokia.com, all pics are in landscape, no MMS is listed in features and whatnot. The info is there. But because people are lazy and because it can be confusing, I agree they should explain it better.

Criticize Nokia for this, or for being late. But don't blame the N900 for not being what it was not designed to be. If it isn't for you, then it isn't for you - please don't buy it if you are looking for a full-featured smartphone.
