I also expect to ditch my 770 + SE phone combo for the iPhone when it comes out.
That must be one hell of a newspaper for you to ditch a fantastic high resolution display in preference to a much lower resolution device simply because your favourite newspapers website doesn't format it's pages properly and they format better on the low res device.

While I admit a portrait mode for the N800 would be useful (as indeed 180 degree rotation would be useful for lefties, though portrait is probably more effort) I'm not sure I'd ditch the 770/N800 for an expensive and compromised phone/browser combo simply because the iPhone's lower resolution display means it doesn't have such a large right hand border due to the poorly formatted written pages of your newpaper website. Bizarre.
