Closing Windows In Portrait Mode
 
Is their a way to close a browser window when in protrait mode? I find it inconviniant to have to switch to landscape, press the fullscrenn button, and then press on the X to close a window. Why can't the top menu bar just stay there, while in portrait mode?

You could get ShortcutD app and then assign the camera press function for task viewer :)

That way u just tap the camera button as if u were focussing the camera and then press the x for the window ur on :)

You could press the power button and press "End current task", it will close the browser.

That will close the entire browser though, so if u have lyk 3 windows open and want to close one. Your method will close ALL 3 windows :/

Both tips will work, but I was hoping for a diferent solution.
A way to use the phone with my right hand and still be able to exit a window, with out repositioning the phone.

This should work just fine. I'll be usuing both tips, thats for sure.
Thank you sirs.

Yeah, I assumed OP wanted to close the entire browser, since you're more likely to do fast browsing if you're surfing in portrait, and do more "heavy" browsing while in landscape.

I've been using the browser in portrait mode.
I realised that what I really want is all the functonality I have in landscape, but in portrait mode.
I guess I better learn to code since it Nokia isn't going to help me out. :(

You might be better of using Opera unless you got some specific reason to use MicroB.
