Firstly, I have to say, the reason why you can't do it is probably down to the fact that these days it makes more sense to share your video/post it up to the cloud, where you can stream it in the resolution it was taken in. This also means you can share the video with whomever you want without having to constantly re-send it. MMS? Welcome to 1999!
Secondly, your constant re-use of the word 'crippled' is ridiculous. Because a phone wont do something you think is useful, which very few others do, does not mean it is crippled.
And as for a three-wheeled Mercedes?
