Re: well respected reviewer "eldar" throwing caution to N900

I can easily believe that noone has made a bug/suggestion about no MMS on a phone that only exists in the hands of tech people, but it's not true that nobody use it. A coworker of mine actually did not get the Iphone because of MMS, despite being a design wh0re. And around new years and christmas I receive a sad amount of the same MMSs from my mum and all my aunts.

Maybe the "No MMS" decision is a clever tactic to make only us nerdier people buy it :B

Re: well respected reviewer "eldar" throwing caution to N900

The dilemma was whether you loose more people by not including it, or by delaying the product. As simple as that.

(... Of course in some ways it is.)

But I also think recent competitors have shown that it is more about the quality of the features than the quantity of them. For instance, you can sell really a great deal of devices, even if it has a closed ecosystem, no MMS, no ASR etc. Do certain things a lot better than others rather than trying to match everything that is already available.

Haha of course you aren't better by simply having feaures other phones don't. What I was saying was you shouldn't say that the lack of a feature is ok because other phones on that level don't do it too.

For example, price to implement, studies based on usage, time it takes to implement and how it would impact release date. Or how you can make other features better using the time you would've spent on MMS.

Not lack of MMS is ok because the iphone doesn't do it either. though that's not true anymore.

This thread is really sad, quite pointless and doesn't deserve to be alive.

I would hope that lessons are learned frfm this thread merly it being forgotten when its locked. To delete this thread would too be self-defeating.

The lessons for sociologists are plain as day in this thread towards communities, online interactions, and spoken/unspoken rules of engagement and judgement. For me, this has been quite insightful.

Re: well respected reviewer "eldar" throwing caution to N900

ARJWright
I got the lesson as well :) Maemo community isnt mature and do not ready to go out of the sandbox. Sad, really sad. Because without strong community I do not believe in any success of Maemo in real world.

So my estimations about sales of next devices was corrected due to this (and also marketing is sociology of net nowadays :) Do not believe that a lot of people here understand what I mean exactly, but in any way, it was usefull for me :)

Re: well respected reviewer "eldar" throwing caution to N900

I'd make a comment about sanctimonious attitudes and disingenuity, but there's a risk of exceeding the irony quota. So I won't.

Besides, Jay already blew the thread up. :D
