Re: Gimmicks you might have missed on the N900
 
Is there a way to get the turn-to-Phone feature working across the board? That would actually make it useful: It's pretty useless from the desktop as I have the Phone shortcut there, and besides it takes more time for the N900 to realise it's been turned than to prod a desktop shortcut if you're there already.

when u r surfing on the internet browser, u probably use only horizontally view, don't u?

try ctrl+shift (up arrow) + O

Try installing shortcutd. This allows you to configure the camera button to launch the phone, which means you can use the portrait mode of the browser as per the previous post, which a universal turn-to-phone would prevent. it also allows you to configure the camera button or prox sensor to work as a browser back button, thus making the portrait mode for the borwser usable.

WHEN IN A TEXT BOX LIKE SMS OR WEBSITES. PRESS THE BLUE UP ARROW THEN 'Ctrl'. it will bring up a extra symbol box. :)

i guess thats why the Ctrl-key has "Sym" printed in blue on it :D

Does anyone know how to tab to the next field online. i.e. logging into online banking i have to tap the screen to jump to the next field. Is there now a keyboard shortcut?????

Re: Gimmicks you might have missed on the N900
 
for users with 2 arrow-keys:
sym-key + up/down

/edit:

nvmd, sym is the same as ctrl xD
