However, that is not a big deal. It's a major HW change that is requested. it's not even system wide like you say. its just an app. so whats the big deal? why can't they just make it? since many are asking?
Okay so if I understand you correctly you are asking Nokia to be responsible for something that they had no control over and was not sourced from them but by a 3rd party blogger/reviewer?

I would agree that it might make a lot of sense (and I have argued for this as well on this site) that implimenting text from the phone app keyboard as an option would be a nice touch.

The issue for Nokia is that the Maemo team are a tiny section of the Nokia team. Whilst this is a nice to have feature it is not high up on the list of things to do as the device is usuable (even if awkward for some users) without this addition and there are other things that need to be addressed before this. There are a number of technologies that are being implimented behind the scenes such as USSD and ironing out a huge list of bugs too. With resource stretched then it makes sense to stabilise things prior to adding additional functionality which in turn might introduce bugs as well. Better a well functioning device with limitations that can be added later than a feature frenzy that is bug ridden.
