lol... that's why PR1.2 delayed, as the portrait mode only works when the phone is upside down...
:p

(yes, that's a joke!)

I wish we had a theme like that where the buttons are flat and the letters on the keypad are on the right.. and the numbers are on the left... just like how it is on the image...

By the way why isn't this in the off-topic section?

I actually wish the phone would turn this direction.

That way when in phone portrait mode, the power cable would come out the bottom of the device and the headphone jack would be at the top of the device.

This is the cable/orientation layout of pretty much every phone ever made (at least the power plug being at the bottom anyway), and a huge oversight in the N900's industrial design.

Don't believe me? Try talking on the N900 while it's plugged into an AC adapter. Makes me feel like a tool every time...

But then you wouldn't be able to talk at all. Then again, if you've got the AC cable plugged in, it only makes sense that you would have the headphones nearby.

If only forced rotation worked as well as it did on the N8x0s.

By the way, could a Moderator move this to off-topic if necessary?

Why is that? You've never talked on a cell phone while it's plugged into an AC adapter or car charger?

Considering the power drain my N900 goes through on a typical day, I CERTAINLY plug it in every chance I get and would rather not unplug it every time to answer a call...

Re: Anyone seen this picture?
 
when i got my n900 and saw that the charger was on top it was a bit strange to me, but i often make phone calls while charger and got no problems with it

Awesome dialpad. Can someone make one for PR1.1? (Not upside down)

You think YOU feel like a tool?

Try doing it when your charging cable is pink. :D

Well, I can't compete, curiosity got the best of me and I Googled. But I'm not spoiling it for the rest of you.

Its kinda lame as well about the interface, Take a closer look at N900 dialing pad delete button doesn't look that way , its an arrow without x in the middle :cool:

Re: Anyone seen this picture?
 
Maybe it's 1.2 or theme related. Or N901. Or both! N901.2 :D

ETA: Also:
* Font is different,
* it's bold,
* figures are top-left versus center
* the number itself is aligned top while in real life it's aligned bottom.
* It's missing the task switch button
* title is Phone, not dialpad

Meaning it's either running a dialpad demo or it's a different version. Or a Photoshop. Or it's on QT 4.6 interface.

You're miscountering my counter to your argument. :P

What I meant was, the UI would be upside down (If the phone was actually like that, per your original post), so using without headphones wouldn't be optimal. (You would manage, but you'd get quite a few odd looks.)

Edit: Gah. Ignore my idiocy. I thought you meant you actually wanted the earpiece down at your chin/upside-down UI.

Actually, reversed UI when headphones are plugged isn't bad.

At least it would make headphoned phone easier to use.
