My point was only to say that if there are missing functionnalities, that's only because nokia hadn't the time to implement them, not a marketing decision to release the N900 without MMS because MMS sucks or MMS is too old or nobody use MMS today or I don't know what poor excuse a lot of people try to argue for the lack of MMS support.
Yes the MMS is essential to have but not what Nokia have in mind at the moment. It has more problems to solved than to implementing MMS but it will be port to N900 very soon I guess. I personally do not use MMS since my last Nokia 6680 lol. It can be very handy sometimes but cost a lot to use.

Nokia just doesn't have the time to finishing up the functionality because they wanted to get a piece of the market share rather than wait for the final release and then everything is too late. Beside if they have waited just another few months to release the device, they will lose a very large amount of customers to competitors like Apple and Android. So they made the right move for the time being.

I must admit that the screen coated quality of the N900 is poorly made. Easily scratch from just cleaning it with micro-fibre cloth. Mine has like 5 noticeable scratches. And I am right now using an Iphone 3GS screen protector cut to fit my N900. It lost about 15% sensitivity but i don't mind as long I don't get any more scratch

As for MMS is nice to have in case of emergency like when your wife or family member gave birth to a new born baby then you want to share it around quickly to relatives over the country or outside Handy indeed
