As pointed out: development takes time, and hardware has its limits. There is no one size fits all.

Simple as that!
Therefore, part of your choice is to pick a different device than N900 to suit your needs.

Such an expensive device, lacking way behind with regards to software, should support both landscape and portrait mode, to justify the price..

And yes, in most cases I would choose portrait mode, and not have to use both my hands just to answar an sms..
Then you'd better get device with candybar design. Do you really need touchscreen? From this post I'd say a device like Nokia E71 is good for your specific use case as outlined here. You can use it easily with one hand.

Now, does that make Nokia E71 a killer product and Nokia N900 crap? Ofcourse not. Every device has its pros and cons.
