here in the US, MMS is second to texting. people get at least 1 - 5 MMS's a week here.

I guess its just a matter of time before it stops mattering here.

That is simply an issue with your networks.

We have 5 Major providers here and about half a dozen or so Virtual Providers. Sending MMS between networks was only ever an issue in its very early infancy and is a widely used feature (at leats in the uk) whether you use it or not its a handy and quick way to receive small pics particually ones taken on the phone when outside the 10m range for bluetooth.

Nokia haven't provided an e-mail Daemon on the phone so if you close the app by accident or forget to load it you dont get notifications (nice one Nokia). The E-Mail client also doesent have any options such as auto send and receive every 10 mins and other features such as prompting to resizing images down so your not sending a 5mp photo and wasting data when a VGA resize would surfice. As a replacement I cant even call the built in client a workable replacement.

Also most phones dont have an e-mail address assigned to them (or not one that's easy to "just use") where as their mobile number is always a good start.

fMMS is a nice concept however development on it seems to have dried up. Their are still a lot of issues to resolve such and problems with it. When I send a message 20 times out of 30 it says "FAILED" and sends anyway and receiving messages is always based on fluke. If these issues were resolved it would be a workable solution.

Just keep in mind-- in a cloud, why send and resend megabytes of data? It's faster and more efficient to send lightweight hyperlinks to single-sourced data. Granted, we're not all the way there yet, but it's coming.

Adios, MMS.

we all know mms is not going to be done by nokia and they are supporting fmms.

ever wonder WHY they cant just make and add this? i bet if they did they would have to put n900 into GSM phone barcket which usually means higher tax/fees for companies then maybe tablet.

I think microsoft did this with xbox1 called it a caming computer and you had to buy DVD remote to watch DVD, this meant that they did not have to pay the console tax and small percentage of the cost of DVD remote instead of the percantage of console price.

i find it funny that nokia/maemo staff never actaully said WHY they cannot but they wont/not needed.

any ways thats just my thought.

I was sure the word was that the program didn't believe their target audience would miss it.

i'm happy with fmms, as i hardly get mms but i would perfer not to connect manually..

well clearly allot of people would prefer to have all the basics of a phone on the n900. i think its more then they are letting on.

Word! All I ever get anyway is stupid forwarded MMS messages or some nasty picture of a guy/girl that I never wanted to see to begin with.

I am in the USA, and used MMs all the time with my n78 and n96. The n900 was kind of an abrupt end to that. Now I have to email it, or post it to flickr and send the link to someone. I liked having the option of sending it as an email OR mms on the symbian phones... in the same text box you could enter their phone number, first few letters of their name, or email address, and it would take care of it for you...

because i dont need it.

u dont have to it does it by itself
