We already know portrait mode isn't used in most of the apps at this point and Nokia knows there's a decent amount of you that want it. There's not much point in rehashing all that (whether or not I agree with you on if it's needed/important/etc...) What those of you that want portrait mode should do is try to organize yourselves so that you can get what you want. Those of you that are programmers can start looking at the open sourced default Nokia apps and start working on patches that can be given back to Nokia for integration in later updates. Those of you that are designers can start looking and UI ideas for existing apps and see what designs and ideas the portrait users seem to like best. (There's a chance that I can put you in touch with a few people that can help with this in a few weeks.) Those of you who are end users without those specialized skills can offer your services for testing and giving your opinions on what the programmers and designers are working on. Also, get in touch with the people behind some of your favorite 3rd party apps and tell them how important portrait mode is to you. (Those of you that want to help with testing and are new to it, don't be shy. Ask and we can help you learn how to use Bugzilla, proper testing procedures, etc...) If you want portrait, be proactive about it. Just posting in this thread isn't going to be enough alone. Make it happen. And even if you think some of us old users are trying to put you down, I think you'll see quite a lot of us will be more willing to help than you might think.
