MMS was not available from the start, and is now available as an application only (i honestly could care less for that function so I never bothered to investigate more). Navigation oh well it was the same as on android when it was just released, no turn by turn, while the same function was provided on the lower end phones about which nokia cared even less.

Of course you are right that these two are not the Burning issues with the phone that was marketed as an experiment, for early adopters, but you have to agree even if this is step 4 or whatever before the final product, usually prototypes contain all the features (and more) present in the final product albeit greatly polished.

What happened here is that the current platform was, for the lack of a better word, dropped and a completely new one was adopted for future phones. So n900 remains step 4 and a final step in its line...

IMO Nokia marketed the device in such a way that it mislead many of its costumers, and those comments is an expected outcome of that campaign
what is the difference? fMMS works now just as it would be made by nokia. (ahem iPhone)

and the turn by turn alternative was announced pretty early. (ahem iPhone)

the point is: people have had huge expectations with completely false logic behind them. it isn't my fault, is it? (still I have to see all that stupid *****ing here and everywhere...)

Not really, there is still a Bug with in my opinion only a dirty workaround:

https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9500

Haven't seen a fix for this... and I'm sure we won't see. It's based on this one: https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9476
And this is a WONTFIX for Nokia. Perhaps we will see this in maemo6 Harmattan / meego 1.0 by default. But not at Maemo 5.

I wan't a proper working autoconnection (W-LAN / GPRS) and don't want to select my connection 20 times a day manually. So, for me we have no working MMS implementation.

And now back to the topic.

You may want to compare MeeGo and Maemo and then think again about this statement.

I don't get Nokia....
If it's something that's worth waiting until july 30... why is this posted as "just for fun" !?

let me guess, on july 30, it will say: Thanks for waiting.... and have a good time...


yeah that would piss me off too... and will be very angry....!

Please guys, enough of fMMS talk, MeeGO talk, and MAEMO5 comparison with MeeGO. Let lay it to rest for now. Let's help me guess on what is Nokia planing to do at the end of the month! I'll be really angry if Nokia doing something silly again. Please Nokia officially support N900 with MeeGO.

The guy is angry because Apple conducted a receiption test on a Nokia N97mini.

I actually think... WE are the angry guy... we want to know what it is... and they let us keep waiting and waiting like always, so we get angry...

The guy is angry because anything Nokia say come end of July will be underwhelming, after all these spirited diatribes. It's all gonna be another anticlimactic nokia marketing masterpiece.

He's just bought a n900 in Australia or some third world country and found out his device was already obsolete.

Improbable and more realistic guesses, in random order

It maybe have something to do with CEO replacement
http://business.financialpost.com/20...o-replace-ceo/

Or with E5 release
http://www.knowyourmobile.com/blog/5...g_july_30.html

Or with iPhone release in other countries

Or with Ovi Maps update (or Maemo update or MeeGo release) (only rumours, no proof)

Or Symbian

Or http://beta.nokia.ie/

Or anything else!

I'm not a Nokia insider to know their whim beforehand.
