Understood-- but apparently the target demographic for the N900 does.
thats the thing here, more people have phone numbers and phones then have a email address.
its not so much about the owners and users of the N900, but who they know and wants to communicate with...

btw, i cant find anything in the android git repo that indicates they did anything to the kernel to handle mms. it seems that its all done by a app, from what i can tell...

It runs in Java, user-space link
Why would you run that in kernel-space instead of user space. WAP protocol runs in user space for sure. Although Symbian OS has microkernel. If you can get WAP implentation on Fremantle it shouldn't be too hard to get MMS working.
Multimedia Messaging Service, or MMS, is a telecommunications standard for sending messages that include multimedia objects (images, audio, video, rich text). MMS is an extension of the SMS standard, allowing longer message lengths and using WAP to display the content.

Yes, having MMS on a feature phone is important, but the N900 isn't a feature phone with limited resources. . We prioritized our resources to have brilliant multitasking of the frequent use cases. You can share photos easily to the Internet or by email. Implementing MMS would have meant dragging the ancient WAP 1.2.1 standard used for the push notificatiom to a modern computer OS in times when our target audience wants to share high quality images to Flickr, Facebook, Picasa, Ovi and so on. MMS receipt would maybe gotten us far enough, so others can send her photo to you, but we decided to put our R&D into other areas. I hope consumers will forgive us for the time being.
I do mail my pictures, upload them to Flickr, Twitter, etc. but when I want to take a quick shot and share it with someone I use MMS: Its free, doesn't add to my data plan and it works.
