You still need the internet access to send the MMS

Your phone would still need to connect to internet to download an MMS message, if your phone does not have the ability then you would be sent a link as a text message.
Though you dont need to subscribe for internet to use MMS, it still requires an internet connection

MMS is used in my field daily. Its not used for precision, its used to get the point across. Its something the public uses daily and should be included in future releases.

Yes, I really do need my MMS. I look after an elderly relative with it (Nokia Observation Camera) and my wife sends me stuff all day (feature phone user).

It was pointed out religiously that the iPhone didn't have MMS. Now it's being pointed out that the N900 doesn't need MMS.

If you don't use it, you'll not miss it. I use it. Sparingly. But it's an omission nonetheless that the iPhone also once didn't have and was used to make a few points by people here and about.

I don't send MMS (or even SMS for that matter - if I can help it), but I do have to admit that being able to receive them wouldn't be that bad... I know some people who are stupid enough to pay 50c-2€ per message to send a horribly compressed image to their friends, who try to decipher it on a 128x96 1.5" screen

The funny thing is that I've been working on a SMSC/MMSC related project and have a little insight on MMS (yes, it really is a mess and a good candidate for cruft). Anyhow, it was interesting to see the scales on a provider's level. I knew MMS was a minority compared to SMS but it turns out the question is not by how much, but by how many ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE. Seeing this I fully understand why someone would let MMS (and the things it requires) die and rather spend that time on something that will actually improve the experience for ALL users.

Guilty as charged. The thing is, I used to mention the iPhone's lack of MMS in passing, because the iPhone lacked so many basic features - video recording, cut/copy & paste, A2DP &c.

The article comes across as somewhat ignorant in a number of ways. I guess it's been noted that sending an MMS to "friends and family" would probably set you back a couple bucks at the very least, and people who are actually interested in your baby pictures - or whatever it is you feel you have to share instantly - would have subscribed to your flickr/twitter/faecebook.

I guess Ovi store is a problem for medium-to-low-tech users, or the kinds of users who really feel they need an app to make fart sounds for them. I don't expect all those Debian apps to pass through Ovi, though. The N900 was never aimed at iPhone users, so I can see how it would fail in that sense.
