Being in the UK, I haven't got the new firmware (c'mon Nokia!) but I am delighted at the prospect of using the browser in portrait mode.

But from what I understand, there is still no portrait keyboard to type in URLs and searches. Is that right?

I am not very technically-minded, so I would appreciate if anyone can explain whether this is something that can only come through official firmware updates or whether third-party solutions are possible? It would certainly make portrait browsing a little less awkward. Also, can third-party apps use any kind of portrait keyboard? I know several applications have a portrait mode, but it would be great if there was some kind of text entry available as well.
