The new Nokia N900 will not support for MMS (multimedia messaging), a tool that some users in their terminals. But that is increasingly being used less because it has become something useless if we have a plan of data. It allows us to browser by the internet free of charge, replacing with ease the MMS with e-mail.
By this recent mobile phones range medium-high which have been launched to the market, as is the N900, do not include this tool. As happened with the iPhone, although its new versions yes include this feature.
Use MMS can be quite expensive and quite useless if your terminal can be connected to networks such as Google Talk or social networks as Facebook or Twitter and also has email.
To some users do not mind the lack of support for MMS in the new N900, and others seem a great judgment.
I would like to know if there will be a tool/application that can be installed if I would like to use MMS.
i´m waiting for receive my n900, but, i not agree with no inclusion of mms, because, your phone will be sell in diferent contrys , and not all ppersons have plan tarif
i hope apears any aplication to send mms
i think mms is needed it wouldn’t hurt the developers to release an update including MMS ..
i have it and i already miss having mms in my phone
Well, I’ve had my N900 for over a week now and I’m loving it. I understand it is a tablet first and a phone second but with SMS and email, and all the other features it has why not just add MMS as well. What puzzles me is that there are so many new apps showing up so quickly in the repositories but I have yet to see at least a test version of an MMS app. Does anyone know of any that might be in the making?
how to add Yahoo Messenger in IM repositories in nokia N900. Only Google talk and others are there excluding aol and yahoo…
Had my phone a few days, miss speed dial and voice dialing, but I have put contacts most called on screen..gr8 tool and I am enjoying it…..pity all the nokia pc suite is not fuctioning. this will replace my ipod if I can get my itunes eventually onto the phone

I miss mms very much, so I would apprecite it when nokia made it possible to use mms on my N900.
Also I can’t find any app’s for WAP, its needed to dowload some ringtones
There is a MMS client/server available in Extras-Development now called fMMS. It’s quite stable, and allows one to send JPEG files as MMS, and receive almost any type of file. It is still beta, and under development, and is a stand alone app (does not integrate with message center, etc). But for now it fills the gap on getting/sending MMS on the N900 for those that need it.
Nokia engineers have (in the fMMS forum) officially said Nokia does not plan to offer MMS as a feature update for the N900. However, they are going out of their way to help the developer of fMMS have inside documentation to improve his application and support.

mms
i decided to grow up and go get the nokia n900 cause im so tired of the childish iphone. when the iphone first dropped i thought it was the best phone i had ever held. As time went on i realized the iphone became less of a phone and more of a toy.
The N900 is one of the best smartphones i have ever had. This is my 5th smartphone and my 3rd Nokia after 3 symbians a 4 WM devices and makes WM look really primitive and I still have not rebooted my N900 since i purchased it 2 months back. I have never used MMS as i always had an unlimited data plan and prefer to email. MMS is slowly fading away as more and more smartphones are linking directly to social networks, email and chat clients. I dont miss it at all.
I have been using my N900 for a few weeks now after having an N95; N96 & N97
Not having MMS or 3G video calling is a real draw back. I send loads of texts and I’m not a big facebook fan.
I really hope Nokia sort their act out, the retailer (Carphone Warehouse) had no idea that the latest state of the art handset is so lacking.
It does everything else brilliantly though, am I converted……almost!
We have to keep in mind that the N900 is a internet tablet, not a smartphone. I recently traded my 3 year old N82 for a N900. Yes the N900 has phone capabilities, including sms, so since Nokia included these features, they really should include mms support, as this is a selling point for some. Do i miss mms, yes, i don’t receive any mms friends send me, can i live without it, yes. I’m sure Nokia have been hearing our cries, and will answer with mms support soon
I can’t believe there is no option for setting personal ring tone for each contacst or making groups with different ring tones, which to me is extremly important. A big dissapointment. No sms reports either.
@Tina, sms reports are there. In the conversation screen click at the top and it gives you a list of settings.
“Will Nokia official support MMS in Maemo 5 ?
… (W)e have no intention of supporting MMS in Fremantle ourselves. That was and is our plan.

Editor note : Community member Frals has developed an application (fMMS) for sending and receiving MMS.
We have contacted frals to congratulate him for his work, and to offer him concrete help in areas where help is missing. Nothing new, we have been doing this with other Fremantle Stars (I guess nobody doubts that frals is a Star).
We will help him with the UI in the lines of the UX Meets Code hackfest, and we will also help dealing with some Maemo interfaces fMMS needs (the release of the wappushd-dev package in the last Maemo SDK update was a first step).

mms is very important in egypt, i need it very much
Not MMS in Nokia N900. Very bad news.
Why ? Why not to have a very important tool ?
Why go to the past ?
VERY BAD NOKIA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is there video call in nokia n900
I am stuck with a N900 for 2 years on my plan and when I realised it had no MMS, the Carphone Warehouse wouldn’t exchange the phone for something that did, even though they sold it to me at the beginning of the year telling me it DID have MMS.
I cannot use my email account to send photos instead as Yahoo mail ( and therefore millions of other Yahoo account holders) will not sit on the N900 as a direct email account.
I am appalled that Nokia has done this. I have used Nokias for years and push them as PDAs for home and office use and can’t believe they will not develop MMS for the phone.
Another irritating feature: if you have a recurring event in your diary and you want to delete one of them, it will only let you delete all entries.
I truly feel like a loyal Nokia customer that has been let down. My only saving grace is that my sim will work in my old N95 so if I’m out and about and need to use MMS, I use my old N95 instead. Bit of a waste of money getting the N900 then!
I work in technology in a large university and I have told EVERYONE not to get an N900 and have managed to influence the university policy to not supply them as work phones to those who are entitled to have one.
I have asked my ex wife to send me pictures of my children and i cannot receive them because of no mms i think the n900 should include mms
hey can someone tell me how to use the front camera of n900….
