The basic premise of this thread was to start out pointing that the N900 is not a phone (primarily) to justify the lack of some basic phone functions. Whats the purpose of this hair splitting really ? Is it just to justify the lack of features ? Isn't it much easier to just accept that the N900 is a phone and yes it does lack a few features (like MMS etc). So take it or leave it. Hopefully these lack of features will be addressed in time. Instead we spend 14 pages of pointless argument over whether its a phone or not when it makes POTS based voice calls just fine and dandy.
