For what purpose was this Poll put on the official Blog?
 

Hello,

i think everyone remember this Poll on the official Nokia Blog.

And the Winner is :"Ability to run everything on N900 in portrait mode"

...so in the meantime after almost 5 Months...we have the Browser in Portrait Mode.
In my eyes its not enough, we need Portrait mode for everything in the right aspect ratio and all their functionality.

And I mean its on Nokia to get that working as soon as it gets.

Why they ask the User something and nothing happens?

I can not understand this proceeding :( They just give a f**k about, and I think because
they want the new "MeeGo" Phone to have this "extraordinary" Feature.

Jolly good

I don't even want portrait mode at all. I disable it in all apps that have it like gpodder and conboy and turn to launch phone cause the device gets mixed up at times.

Apart from not switching to portrait mode correctly I don't want it cause portrait's real use is one handed operation but I find the device too fat to use with one hand especially with the resistive screen meaning I have to use my nails. For me it is just impossible or burdensome to operate with one hand.

Yeah I have to agree, it looks a bit suspicious and I doubt the voted for features will still be developed for the n900. Let's hope for the best ;)

First of all you can use the stylus and you are free to use the whole Phone in landscape mode! The majority vote for this Feature.

In the VERY LEAST I want portrait support for the keyboard, when using the web browser in portrait, if I want to write something in(google buzz or facebook usually) then I have to switch back to landscape mode. Now I wouldn't mind if I was typing out a paragraph, but when it's a couple words, I don't like having to switch back to landscape and then switch back when I'm done typing. *Annoying*

I don't really need portrait mode either. i'm not sure why everyone is so obsessed with it.. voice dialing would be much handier.. oh an mms.. and 3g video.. etc... portrait should be low on the list.. everything works better in landscape! how many portrait PC monitors do you see? just because a layout is tradional doesn't mean it's best..

Re: For what purpose was this Poll put on the official Blog?
 

Thats your opinion. I dont need mms and 3g video. For example typing SMS with one Hand is very comfortable and its totaly normal for nearly every Mobilephone. But not for the N900.

Re: For what purpose was this Poll put on the official Blog?
 

Nothing more to say, totally agree.

Re: For what purpose was this Poll put on the official Blog?
 

I too don't care whatsoever about voice dialling, I never use it even when available. MMS is not important to me (importance level: Zero), 3G video ditto. Portrait mode is useful for one-handed operation, and when browsing column-based web pages like slashdot.org.

In other words, what's important isn't universal to everyone.
