Now this has been bugging me since Nokia sent me the N900 at the beginning of the year

I can`t seemt io send an picture messages.

When I take a picture it only stays on screen for a second and doesn`t give me an option to send as sms

I get geotag/bin/share but not send as sms

I also go to the pitcure afterwards and still the same issue

I set up an SMS and can`t attach anything

Anyone have any suggestions?

You can't send a photo as SMS. Messages with photos are called MMS and N900 doesn't officially support them but you can install app called fMMS for support.

Sorry meant MMS rather than SMS

WTF....doesn`t support MMS..........I remember when I got this phone that despite telling them I was on the 3 network, they hadn`t got the software version to run on the network.

Seems like with this model they are getting on the I-Phone bandwagon and releasing substandard products.

I will search for FMMS app......will this be on OVI do you know/think?

No, fMMS is in the maemo extras repository, you should find it with application manager.

Help for setting it up here http://wiki.maemo.org/MMS

I have had fMMS running for quite some time now. It takes a long time to send a picture (compared to my old N95) but it does get there. I tried sending a small sound file just now using the same program, but I don't think it liked that!

From the start N900 doesn't support MMS but the community wanting this feature therefore fMMS was born.

fMMS needing manual configuration to get it to work. You'll have to know your carrier details. Not hard to find though.

fMMS is available through Extra-devel repository. Be aware that Extra is for testing apps that are not yet passed the quality control. So install at your own risk. I reflashed mine twice in two days because one of the application stuffed up my hildon-desktop.
