Who said it was ignored? I just got done telling you that the issue is that the Linux kernel *could not do it* until extremely recently and that there's a chance it will be added in the future.
And by the way, this is definitely NOT the phone to buy if you're not planning on having a data plan.

became the first mobile phone to add PDA features: phone, pager, calculator, address book, fax machine and e-mail device, for a total cost of $900.

For a flat rate of €9,99 you get 1500 text messages and 500 MMS. Add €10 and you will get a 250MB data plan that includes unlimited access to MSN (meaning that MSN access doesn't get taken from the 250MB). The flat rate includes, most of the times, free calls between people that have the same plan.
Calling other networks can be as high as 45 cents per minute and landlines even more expensive.
The business is all about volume: Portugal has a mobile penetration ratio of 3 mobile phones per inhabitant.
So, of course operators are giving stuff for "free". They are investing in the younger generations that will probably stick with the same operator since all of their RL social network is using it as well.
500 MMS of 100 kB each is 50 MB. 1500 SMS is like not even one MB. That is together 51 MB. They have to be received as well though, but I assume a 1:1 ratio, so I double it to 102 MB.
That still means you have 148 MB to burn, while MSN (IM alternative for SMS) does not even count. So obviously Twitter and the like is cheaper.
For SIP or proprietary VoIP a similar calculation can be made.
I'm not sure this case is true in every situation though, and the ability of choice, backwards compatibility and supporting a popular standard is a good thing,
Meanwhile, time for Portugal to wake up.

Makes the N900 price tag seem not so bad
Look here is a review of the Nokia Communicator 9210 on geek.com although I had more experience with Nokia Communicator 9110.
The evolution steps from the cellphone to the computer!
Special features :
- James Bond device! A computer inside a telephone!
- Ain't that enough?? Well, the screen is great, you have a web-browser, e-mail, WAV phone rings....
Weak points :
- Likely to destroy your pockets... Large and heavy

Given that it's a quadband GSM phone, it had better work on AT&T :-) And I'm pretty sure that the parenthetical reference to AT&T and GSM means "2G support".
If you look into the full specs that they list, it clearly shows T-Mobile and European 3G, and not AT&T 3G. It also shows quadband support for the 2G/GSM network.
