?? Its N900 related is it not. In addition its not an 'app' its an integral function for a GSM/3G device.
So, yeah, the thread belongs HERE. You didn't buy a Samsung Flip Phone, you bought a linux handheld w/3g radio, along with the maemo 5 OS. The sooner you come to grips with that the sooner you will begin to understand why it is that this post makes little sense.

I don't have any proof, but I simply cannot comprehend it. It just doesn't make sense! A top of the range N series phone without MMS support? Without Video calling?
No, I don't see it staying this way for long.
This is not a top of the range N series phone. The Symbian devices you're used to are not the same as the N900. Beyond the usual points (step 4 out of 5, internet tablet/mobile computer with telephony, aimed at early adopters enthusiasts & developers) there is the issue that it was never put in the same context as those devices. This isn't Howardforums where things are pigeonholed that way. Plus there was no concrete evidence or statement that these features would be added.

This is not a top of the range N series phone..................
Yes.
Sure it's running debian and more like an N810 with phone capabilities, but Nokia are not the type to leave out features like Apple.
They provide a complete solution, and we won't see in Maemo 5 as that will be replaced soon, but we will certainly see it make it to the N900 be it via Meego, or an update.

Lot of spinning in this thread by some. Nokia implied both MMS and protrait would be coming. No problem for me- back to my G1 and N900 is a media device / back-up phone. Great for that function, not so great compared to the G1 in regards to smartphone function.
Now that Android has a very good Amiga emulator, my N900 seems even less of a concern. Ruff n Tumble and Stunt Track Racer playing 100% with sound on the 528mhz G1. Cool

I have seen it with my very own eyes. Of course, Nokia, making sure their stuff is not archived, and me being too naive to save a screenshot makes it hard to prove things like that now.
Fact is, while the development team may always have known that MMS wasn't on the roadmap, marketing went berzerk on this supposed new flagship and touted it as the next great thing since the invention of sliced bread.
Obviously there have been some serious issues regarding communication inside Nokia when it comes to this device, and contrary to what people say, it has been offered as something it is not.
This doesn't make the device any less great, but I am sick of people telling others that essentially they were too stupid to pick the right product.
Regards,
Chris.

You said it was a top of the line Nseries phone. It is in fact a top of the line Nseries frisbee.
