Its a relevant response to htis thead, especially from a Symbian perspective. 50% of the world's phones can't be wrong. One handed usage and the technologies that enable them can put Maemo in rare air that you may have overlooked.

I'm in the process of doing the first one, and I've had an E90 and every flagship Nseries and Eseries device ever made, not to mention countless midrange models. I appreciate landscape mode, and loved the E90, but didn't the E90 also support portrait and T9. I preferred the E71's one handed usage model much better, and the E90 was left on the wayside. And the E71 went on to be the third best selling Nokia smartphone of all time.

So please don't assume I'm inexperienced in research on these matters. I'm a longtime Nokia/Symbian promoter and S60 Ambassador. And guess what? I just attended an invitation only online conference a few days ago with Jussi Makinen, Maemo Marketing Manager (I think was his title) and several bloggers and media types, and guess what the biggest topic of conversation was? ASR and portrait mode support. So I'm just a prelude of things to come. It WILL be an issue for millions wanting to move from S60 to Maemo. It gets old, but having to use two hands to respond to an SMS does too.

But I guess you're just tired of hearing about it. I can understand that. Just remember it when reviews come out. I'll be one of the first there too.
