It has to do with the operating system. The virtual keyboard is a system wide application. it has to be able to input text in all applications. not just one or the other.

That is a selfesh argument. Just because you or whoever, does not need it. That does not mean others will feel the same.

Please don't start these fancy word explanations. The moment you put in the n900, a stock phone and sms app, and included that information as a selling feature, in at least some of your ads You made people perceive it as a phone. That is not their fault. if you want it NOT to be called a phone AT ALL. you don't advertise the phone functionality AT ALL. you say it's a 3g tablet. similar to iPad.

Yes. but Advanced, well made, Fax applications have been released on the PC making it in some instances even superior to an actual fax machine

You don't release a work in progress to mainstream users and make that an excuse for everything. the moment it went into a nokia shop. it became a consumer device. not developer.

I have made my peace with not having it a while ago. What i will never make peace with. Is people trying to selfeshly downplay other people who have a legitimate need for this and thus have a right to atleast ASK for it. without having been called ignorant.

And of course. the "You make it arguemnt". Really? Really? Since when does a customer have to "make" things?
