The UI of the entire device will rotate so no matter how you look at it, the text and elements are positioned upright to the eyes.

I picked up a colleague's iPhone, pressed the button to get to the home screen and it didn't rotate the screen when I rotated the device.

There was a lot of talk when the iPhone was released about which apps supported landscape mode instead of just portrait mode; and that has improved over time.

Nokia have made the choices they've made. Why are people going round and round in circles on this?
