What we see now is people who just aren't the target group complaining about missing features that the target group wouldn't even notice. So what? It was designed for people who never knew their previous phone could send *-something-# codes, anyway. For people who use facebook instead of MMS. They love it.

(Just to make one thing clear: I'm not in the target group myself. I knew I wasn't before I bought it, but I never intended to use it as a phone. So I'm not complaining. Much.)
Back then, one of the problems was (and still is), that no S60 device had the hardware (processor, memory, etc) that the N900 has right now. I think the Satio had it, but since it was not a Nokia handset, people were reluctant about it... and rightly so.
