I just sent a couple of MMS to TMo and ATT phones with fMMS help. What is an issue with MMS?

I never had any microphone issue with N900. What is it?

2. tablet ? not too small ?
3. mobile computer ? why without USB host for example ?
4. smartphone ? doesn't have all functions known from 99% of other Nokia smartphones or products from other companies...
5. step 4 of 5 in Maemo glory ? So, shortly c..p ?
N900 is in it's own class - open source phone. I think it has sense to stop complaining and read around and learn how to live with N900. And if you can - you may extend it's capabilities. No joke - look into fMMS, for exam - people develops it, not Nokia ... but because it's unique class - Open Source Phone.

In my opinion nothing really good will happen here now...unless Nokia will change own strategy.
Nokia - if you read it, please do NOT change a strategy. Just look that happened with MS, Solaris, VMS and Linux - the more device is attractive at initial stage for developers the more success it would get later. Open Source gives us a chance, don't stick with this complaining guys - they are not developers, they can't give anything for any of us... may be just $600 to Nokia but it is a slim chance.

Earlier there were some good ideas: exchangeable covers, good batteries, low SAR design, etc. etc.
Please - don't spend resources on all that crap. Please do VIDEO in phone application. You are positioned now with N900 in the best - you have equipment and we need only an application. You do the essential skeleton, we do we rest (bells and whistles). It will be a killer app!
