I would concentrate the Maemo firmware update development focus to other areas that are more useful for the end user (Nokia Maps!)
Because like it or not, MMS matters to a lot of people. You may not be one of them. Neither am I. But frankly, the state of Ovi maps matters even less to me.

There are still plenty of people who use MMS - and plenty of people whose phones aren't internet connected - not everyone has a data plan: sending them MMS is an easy way to communicate.

In the end, the user demand is there. And the good news is that people appear to have cracked it in principle at least.

Oh, and NoobMonkey - no great mystery. I caught @Frals's tweet saying he was sending and receivig MMS and asked him how.

The real mystery is who stole the jaffacakes... Was that article written by the person with the jaffa-container?
