It's Intel, not IBM.

Why should they kill Symbian (this early)? Most of the smartphones in the world run Symbian, and Maemo/MeeGo isn't there yet to replace Symbian. Nokia insists the N97 being their flagship smartphone, not the N900.

MMS always works by connecting online to servers. It's just that the other phones hide this fact from the user when they support MMS natively. This doesn't improve battery life or security, really. The MMS community app is getting help by Nokia, so it's not purely a community effort, either.
