Then you were wrong. It is not possible, and it will not be possible.

A strike of out-of-context quote, but as far as I remember when I last looked (a very long time ago, so might be mistaken), i-Mode is mostly based on email technology

Now, run along, nothing to see here... Just an old fart mumbling nonsense...

Anyway I've read on the developer forum that maybe there is a fix for the usb host mode. But it's pretty sure that the N900 will not be capable of supplying enough power for a connected peripheral, so even if it's possible to turn the host mode on, the peripheral will need an external power (and even worse maybe a wire manipulation to activate the host mode)

no usb hosting is very annoying.

surely if the flash card slot was outside the device we could have at least had a flash convertor- so we could have at least backed up and/or sent pics from a decent camera on the fly mind(NO NOT BY MMS LOL).(or other things like that)

I've written about this previously, but quite simply, the Inspector-Gadget writer was speculating wildly regarding that device. In reality, it's nothing more than yet another USB hub with built-in Bluetooth adapter.

Very good points! Email tends to not have these issues, but the catch is a lot less devices have the function, since more basic phones out and about than smart devices with email function. Not to mention that there is no set-up for picture mms and no email address needed. Simple to use for people that think a dvd player is complex.

There are carriers that picture mms can not be sent to us from England and we get a message showing a web address and key to see the picture. Crazy.

The main difference between a mail and a mms is that a mms, like a sms, is instantenaously received by the recipient, and the sender knows that the MMS has been sended to the recipient.

When you send a mail to someone, if this person is not in front of its computer or has not a mobile phone with mail always on (and even so, this person can check its mail once every hour), it can take a long delay between the time you sent your mail and the time the recipient get the mail.
