The biggest thing for MMS (I think) is that it's instant. Yes, there is email: but only people with email on their phones will get it instant. Yes, there is facebook - but sometimes I don't want to upload a photo to the world and then have to go mess with permissions on "who" I want to see it... and again: only those with facebook get it instant.

With MMS it goes right from my phone to theirs.. and they get it. Even if their in the middle of a meeting . And on the US side.. this isn't as expensive as it seems the UK side is. It's usually included in most things now-a-days.. all my friends unlimited messaging, SMS+MMS. Plus, since it's supported on even the silly non smart-phones it's more or less "universal" in a sense.

Not really a huge deal one way or the other IMHO.. but why people seem adamant that the N900 doesn't get it is kind of baffling. If you don't use it, don't use.. whats the big deal? Other people do. :shrug:
