I've seen little "justifying" of the USB port thing on the forum. Rather I've seen people noting that this is an issue, and finding ways to help lessen it's chances of happening.

As for the mms thing, the N900 when launched specifically did not list MMS as a feature. It was noticeably missing in the long list of things the web page said it did do, and many people here noticed it and asked about it long before it shipped.

Last I looked, Apple did indicate in their "new features" list that the phone could make calls, and had "better wireless reception than the 3GS". Losing that because of holding the device in a way many many people will commonly hold it is IMHO a rather massive fail.

If I owned an iPhone4 would I take it back to them and insist they fix it? Probably not. I would ask for a reasonable solution at little/no cost, and be disappointed if the only option given was to buy another iItem for >$20 to fix the busted iItem I had. But then that's just one more reason I don't own any iItems....

The real thing here is that yes, sure, there are Nokia fanboys, on a forum about Nokia devices. That's not suprising to me. But finding an iPhone fanboy here is a little surprising. Are there Nokia fanboys on forums about iPhones? (Are there forums about iPhones?)

In any case... If you shout from the rooftops what a wonderful device you have, and how it's spectacular, and hold a trade show gloating about it, be ready to take it in the gut if it's got a majorly glaring design flaw. Nokia wasn't exactly holding a world press gathering to unveil the N900. Apple had a special event just for the iPhone 4.
