And before you ask Harmattan will support portrait mode in the way that makes more sense based on our UI vision and the feedback received from Maemo 5 users, our usability studies etc.

Thanks for the answer!

Playing around a bit with a friend's N97, I found why I am personally so worried about one handed use in portrait mode: because holding the device that way allows me to have it safely nested in my hand, and operate it only with my thumb.

I guess that a form factor a la Palm Pre is not in the works? *dreams*
