Vote for bug 6605 - https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6605

Re: PR1.1 Feedback?

Hmm, the browser does rotate, but when u try virtual keyboard it switches to landscape again. Any way to rotate it?

Re: PR1.1 Feedback?

That's what I did the first time around, reboot, file manager, double click on "Office Space.mp4".

hey can you try rebooting and (without ever opening the media player directly) trying to play the file through the file manager again? i'm pretty sure if the get-video-thumb process runs it borks something that renders all videos (inc one's taken by the camera) unplayable

Re: PR1.1 Feedback?

I just noticed they fixed the browser page-up and page-down functions. The previous version didn't adjust the scrolling page size when you zoomed or adjusted the font size. Excellent fix. Now to do the ol' page up/down edit for the +/- buttons...

yea too bad :( i was hoping they would implement this in the conversation and ovi map as well

Re: PR1.1 Feedback?

I just installed the update via OTA. It was fast and no issues at all.

After the reboot it is more faster and the OVI maps also has some improvements and GPS tracker is so cool.

But i just want to know except browser what are all the other applications that will work in portrait mode?

Hulu.com would play shows *before* the update. Now they no longer play.

It could be that hulu.com added some ridiculous version checking just recently, but I do not know.

Hulu has recently changed their requirement to Flash 10. When I got N900 could also use HULU (not very well but it worked) but a few weeks later Hulu started with "Flash 10" only. So not really a N900 bug... Flash 10 is unfortunately so unstable that HULU desktop client break down every 2-3 hours...

I waited for this update like there's no tomorrow. I was hoping it to fix some bugs and bring features that I thought was critical. It fixed none of the bugs I suffered with this phone and neither got those features I was missing for.

Agreed! I think they must be in trouble with their BT performance. I hope not though. It is useless to me as well.

Calendar
Nothing new here, still very limited -> thus crap:
-No copy/paste of events
-No possibility to remove single event from repeated events.
-No advanced settings of eg. repeat monthly: day/date?
-What's with the lines showing your events in the monthly view? They don't even show if the event is at morning or evening! Finding an open space for an event/appointment from monthly view is way too slow and frustrating!
-Try to create an event and select that the event is ending next weeks Wednesday ... you'll get the timescroller (or how do you call it?). Now what's the date for that day? Hell, I don't know! I need to cancel the event creation and go see the monthly view to see the date! >:(
The calendar is simply awful to use. It needs a lot of updates to get it usefull ... or maybe somebody with programming skills should do a whole new calendar for N900!

Calendar SUX, agreed. I guess nobody uses Calendar on their Device except me and you!

Why would I want to use the browser in portrait mode? The only thing portrait mode would be useful for is messaging and navigating through the OS.

For example in here in portrait mode you can easily speed read threads easily. You see thread topics more on one eyefull. Some webpages are optimized for portrait mode for example nokia store.

So it depends on webpage you are viewing.

But its true that it should be enabled at least in mediaplayer,conversations,menus. Places where you quite often would also like to use your phone with one hand.
