Makes sense!

300 alpha and beta units to weed out the "final" bugs. I hope one of those last minute issues is the ability to use the device to browse and text in portrait mode. I would expect more than normal drops of this device without this (for smartphone vets).

Nokia did a survey about portrait and was top concern at 12%. Considering that the survey allowed multiple entries when posting, this suggests the actual ranking would be over 80% if you could only pick one item instead.

Still seems odd how they missed this during R&D testing- unless the testers were non-smart phone using tablet users.

This device could gain the same legend as the Wii-mote and TV's getting busted. In this case, people trying to use the phone in landscape with one hand and dropping the N900. Better have big meaty paws! Or a rubber case! That might not be such a bad idea...... N900's bounce!
