But I'm 48 and I'm in it. These tend to be heavily-matrixed anyway. Nokia loooves matrices.

I wouldn't bet on 'not much' here. Regarding the target demographic you mentioned, Texrat, wouldn't that basically (also) be a similar market to that of those who purchased an iphone? Not necessarily cheap on purchase, but heavy on monthly fees because of a data plan? And weren't those the same people who nagged about sms for a full year and a half, so much that they had to eventually put it there in the end? Shouldn't Nokia have learned from that?
I honestly don't use mms as a rule of thumb, but I end up using it from time to time because of other people's phones not being able to get e-mail. The problem is not necessarily that we don't have a feature that a R$30 phone has. I get the paradigm change. The problem is not being able to send a picture to that R$30 phone, cause it won't have any other way of getting it. That's what nags users, including (IMHO) those who purchase the N900. To have a phone that does wonders, but doesn't handle the simple. Kinda agree that it should be available on launch, even if not technically justifiable. It's not about 'technically justifiable', I believe. It's about people's perspective on it.
At least that's what it seems to me to be happening here.

May I ask, if it's a kernel issue, why is android able to send MMS?
I honestly don't use mms as a rule of thumb, but I end up using it from time to time because of other people's phones not being able to get e-mail. The problem is not necessarily that we don't have a feature that a R$30 phone has. I get the paradigm change.
