The fact you don't need it doesn't mean someone else wouldnt. I don't need MMS but not including MMS on the n900 was just poor form

And lack of MMS on the iphone was ok? N900 is an internet tablet first, send a multimedia file through email.

Nobody said it was ok. The iPhone got criticized for that and they added it officially. Nokia flat out said "no" and told us to use fmms. Why couldn't they do the same thing they did with petrovich?

The n900 is an internet tablet first, theN why include SMS? Why include a feature if you ate going to half *** it? I'd rather not have it at all than have to wonder what could have been.

Say what you want about apple, thy respond to consumer needs. MMS then multitasking. Nokia on the other hand...

Ok I set up a thread for constructive ideas on features to make the n900 successor a competitive phone given all the talk about the iphone 4:

http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...875#post705875

What are your three changes or steps to make the n900 successor a decent purchase/alternative?

MMS is not a feature thats quite used. people complain for a missing feature just because they want to have it and brag about it.

It took apple 3 years to include multitasking, finally in the 4th iteration of the os and is not quite true multitasking. If it was up to them, they would have not included it. It is pointless to call it a smartphone without multitasking. The competition has forced them, not consumers. Apple differs in their method, but they do manage to bring attention due to this.

Uh yeah, or they can make the iPhone priced $204 and $304 and people will still b*tch: "just make it $199 and $299 and let us buy the app separately if we friggin want it.

Ps: iPhone apps are pretty much the cheapest 'smartphone apps' around due to their large and active marketsize. Compare any titles available on both iPhone and n900 for clear proofs (angry birds, 3d coaster series, etc)

The iPhone was also loudly marketed as a phone.

Because MMS fundamentally required breaking the persistent internet connection and swapping over to an alternate access point to do the download. Newer kernels have somewhat resolved this, but Nokia focused ENTIRELY on standard internet protocols and not on hackjob telecom protocols.

But at the same time, the device is open enough that fMMS could come into existence. So you can have MMSes while I continue to not use them, and save the memory/space the software would otherwise have occupied.
