This comes from the same guy that understands it will never be available? Btw, there are laptops that fit in one hand and in a jacket pocket, yes there are laptops using 3G chips AND can send txt msgs, just because yours doesn't, means that none do, I don't see the point. My point was that this is NOT a phone. It's an Internet Tablet *capable* of making calls. If you wanted to text vertically, maybe you should've got a cellphone. I don't care how many people whine about this lack of feature, those people represent the minority. The way I see it, the N900 was never meant to be able to send a quick txt msg. Perhaps you should save a couple of pre-written sms template, or wait until you can use both hands to type. If urgent then make a call instead.
