I've actually lost 2 clients and around $20,000 worth of work since having my N900 and no MMS, I don't really care because I'm already too busy. But saying no one uses MMS is just silly, there are plenty of people who use them for things other than pictures...those two people happened to have BlackBerries with out data plans, being on CDMA carriers they couldn't send anything more than 160 characters(BlackBerries on CDMA won't even split, they just stop) so they tried sending me a MMS with just text that was a forwarded proposal. It's not that MMS is a vital feature, It just happens to be those few that I never got that were also some of the only ones I got in a year. The point here is that MMS is a basic feature, It's a basic phone feature, they got the rest right, My calls are crystal clear and SMS is done brilliantly.
