Well, if the consumer is stupid enough to be deceived by that...

Again, if we get portrait texting and browsing, almost everyone will be happy and the others will never ever be happy- regardless.
I suggest they focus on those two points and everything else will be gravy
I would also say messenger services like MSN, Yahoo, Skype etc but that may be dependent on the application maker allowing it, but it would require Nokia to give access to portrait T9 or QWERTY keyboards that would be available in SMS messaging and Web Browsing in any event.

Frankly, I am surprised by the outrage at a generally positive article whose main objections could have been taken directly from threads on this forum. The omission of MMS and portrait mode seem to indicate a lack of knowledge or a lack of concern as to how the majority of consumers use their phones and what the expect from a top of the line phone. Given the five step program, I suspect the latter.

I guess it depends on what your friends use. I have never sent an MMS. Not once. If I want to send someone something, it's sent as an e-mail attachment, since pretty much everyone I know gets their email pushed to their phone.
Also, the App store is not a necessity when you have an open platform. No doubt, it's VERY convenient, but when you can download anything to your phone it's less of a concern where it comes from.

- Portrait - Software Update
- MMS - Software Update
- Price - TMO has a SIM only plan now
- Apps - It is a new os so it will take time, but we have Qt which makes it quicker.

I think we should be moving forward and away from MMS.
Reasons:
1. N900 has 5meg camera
2. MMS limits 350kb per message
3. N900 requires software to compress image down to MMS size
4. Waste of resource to develop this functionality when the N900 can take advantage of the 3G & HSPDA network to upload high quality photos, link can be sent through message or social networking sites.
5. In order to see the MMS, the other person would need an MMS compatible phone
6. Not a lot of demand for MMS nowdays to be honest, users take the photos with the camera on their phone (N900) they prefer to go home and upload it on the net (Facebook, twitter etc) rather than sending an MMS to a dozen of contacts.

X 2 - I don't understand why it's a bad thing that mms is left out

The smartphone market share is still below 40% penetration, there's still a large majority of people who can't send/receive email from a phone, but the money is on them being able to get a MMS, and if they can't then whatever they can view it online later.

The idea isn't that it's useless, it's that it should be a standard feature, I remember buying my new BMW, it didn't have an oil Dipstick, in the modern age you don't need one because it has an electronic one, but it's still nice to have one under the hood just in case.
