Couple of questions for you.
Why can't a first generation iPhone surf on 3G speed?
Why cannot iPhone 3G take advantage of applications that uses compass?
However they get all features that can be supported by their hardware and there is a consistent platform for developers to target.
My N82 always shows the homescreen in portrait mode even when everything else is in landscape. The N85 and other phones support landscape homescreen but not mine. There's no reason why it shouldn't have gotten that feature.

It's far too early to be getting a bee in our bonnet
I'm sure people will put together custom builds etc for the N900 but I'm really thinking of the normal user and of Nokia products in general.

The first iPhone version has hardware that is fully capable of supporingt MMS, but Apple decided not to allow it in iPhone 3 OS upgrade for original iPhone.

Correct but there likely will be other features people will like on their N900 and which are supportable. It would also be nicer for developers to just have to worry about Maemo 6.

As I said earlier the N900 won't be able to support all features of Maemo 6 but it should get the features it can support.
You could ask Apple about the MMS thing.

You missed the point. It's not about what's been added to the firmware/hardware. It's the fact the OS - as in Maemo 5 & Maemo 6 - may not be upgradeable on the N900.
