Just got got my N810 yesterday.

First thing I did was hold it in portrait mode and think wow this thing feels really good in the hand.

Then reminded myself that it only works landscape...

Point being, having used a range of portable gadgets of this type I think portrait would enhance the experiance greatly.

The other concern is Checken and Egg. Once the OS supports it, programmers will start making the software work both ways. Otherwise they will "think" landscape.

Anyway, looking forward to seeing Maemo and the apps develop over the coming months.
