And not a perfect portrait is needed, I mean, if desktop icons are rotated, square widgets are rotated, and not-square ones are maintained, that could be PERFECTLY USEFULL! , you must "turn your head" to read what song is playing at media widget? what a problem. And still full one-hand usefull. (I don't know if using correct verbs in this post, excuse me if wrong ones)
Sigh, how many people need to be reminded of this one fact?

THE NOKIA N900 IS NOT DESIGNED AS A MOBILE PHONE, BUT AN INTERNET TABLET LIKE THE N770/N800/N810, BUT WITH MOBILE PHONE / SKYPE CALLING FEATURES

So the option of portrait as standard isn't going to happen. Hence why the phone application is the only application to rotate as standard.

Mods: Feel free to shout at me, but i'm getting sick to the back teeth of coming on this forum to read the same old stuff because people aren't doing research, and then expect everyone to bow at their feet for their stupid mistakes. Ta.
