I would definitely agree there.

If the iPhone can survive not having MMS in the first year with THEIR target audience, it should matter even less for N900 and their more tech-savvy audience.
The first iPhone didn't even have 3G for crying out loud.
I'm sure you can find much better IP based data transfer system with all the mashup of tech available nowadays and make use of the WiFi and 3G to accomplish the task.
PS: Is there email-to-MMS service somewhere, maybe?

Different use cases for different users to be sure. It remains to be seen how much negative impact Nokia's MMS decision will have on N900 launch success.

Yes, on a non-jailbroken iPhone.
It's in their OS3.0 features list:
http://www.apple.com/iphone/softwareupdate/
The 3rd party app (requires jailbreaking) was already available since last year or even before that: SwirlyMMS. I think it was one of the first few native iphone apps made available in the jailbreaking scene.

Everyone (the rest of the world) can use MMS on iPhone OS 3.x by default, except AT&T users
Some people could bypass the AT&T 'lock' though. There are tricks to do it.

Understood-- but apparently the target demographic for the N900 does.
