I will admit that MMS serves a purpose for some people/families/groups, but they're a relatively small minority of users (based on the traffic numbers) and I would rather Nokia target their seemingly limited Maemo development resources elsewhere before getting around to adding MMS.
You call 1.3 billion MMS messages minor?

I've received about 150 MMS messages with photos last year from my family and friends.
I would have received zero if MMS capability did not exist on their phones or mine.
btw, I don't believe enabling MMS on the N900 uses ALL of Nokia's resources to stop them doing anything else.

oh. I do understand where you are coming from still. I also would love a more feature packed media player, full portrait gui support at OS level and smoother video recoding to name a few. (More so than just MMS....)
