How come the N95 could make video calls and N900 can't? I can understand their excuse that no one using mms anymore because of email (actually I know it was just an excuse) but what is the explanation for lack of video calling? Or rather what is the excuse. Surely they cannot say it is because of built in skype because how many people have skype accounts and for those that have how often are they connected.

I miss sending/receiving faxes on my old Nokia Communicators & 3G video calls on my old Nokia E90, both not available on the N900. Reason probably being no one does fax & 3G calls anymore these days because of emails, Skype, GTalk, Gmail, Facebook etc... :-(

With a weak CPU and only less than 56MB of RAM, the N95 is a clear winner in managing applications it has, with multitasking ability.

People behind the N95 do not make excuses for what N95 cannot do, they just silently try to make it better with new firmware. People behind N900 always start by saying there is no need, no interest, no market, no blah blah... for cleaning up their own mess!
Sorry for the heat. I loved my old N95. I am in love with my new N900 and will not go back to the N95. I just hope smart people behind N900 stop being so smart with their excuses and start looking at what they lack comparing to the older systems, learning from them and improving the Maemo5.

We are on our own with this device of wonder from the start because Nokia don't promise anything and never will. Not that big deal because we have so mighty a community to support ourself anyway. Many Thanks to Maemo community!

Caveat emptor (let the buyer beware, right?)Video calls were going to be via Skype, but we can pray hard for 3G video call application to be developed soon. MMS was once not available on the N900, but now we have fMMS.

Of course I'm 110% all for improving the Maemo5 applications.
