Speak for yourself. I think that having portrait mode would be useful ocassionally, I can live happily without it. There are many other features much more important for me that are currently only found on the N900. And I suspect there are lots of people that feel the same way I do. So, while I can see that this may be important for some, just don´t claim to speak for all of us.

Something else I have no use for. I don´t think Silverlight is available in Android either. Personally I don´t like Silverlight because it is controlled by MS. So I hope never to see it supported in either Android or Maemo. Fortunatelly, it looks like both platforms are doing just fine without it.
