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.
I never held nokia responsible for anything. But also, people are not at fault for being fooled in the false propaganda. It happens. so why fault them?

We are here now. It is not a trivial function. If Nokia or Maemo are interested in the N900 as a product and not just "Development" in general. I asure you this function is not trivial. MANY people are interested. what lead you to the assumptions that it's a minority that needs? just look at the number of threads created asking for this!
