as for web in portrait i agree isn't as useful
Yeah but it's the lack of responsiveness that you'd feel comfortable with, by using one hand while writing an SMS. I'm not sure, but the phone just seems WRONG on portrait. I mean, if you have portrait + landscape, sure why not? Just an extra option you have, but I wouldn't say it's a MUST!

Well, my girlfriend has a N97 mini, so yeah, I have. But there again, it's also a lot easier to type with the physical keyboard imo.
+ the entire Symbian OS on portrait doesn't look that bad, whereas the whole "maemo has 4 desktops" wouldn't look that great.
