This phone should switch its mode from landscape to portrait. so the landscape mode will be the alternative option for the users.
You're right, N900 is and must be mainly landscape. But daily use needs at many times portrait.
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)

As would I - the developers have put a hell of a lot of effort into it, but knowing full well their work maybe wasted.
I think the least Nokia can do is take their source code and use it add mms to the N900 properly, and give them the credit their deserve.

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.

I know of the history and I've followed its progress over the year. But I don't get why this excuse is being used again and again.
If they market the thing in the same segment as N97, androids and iphone, then they better measure up to the same standards as the others. If they want to make use of the Internet Tablet excus^H^H^Hplanation, then by all means make sure that N900 is always clearly mentioned in its own market segment. Not go back and forth between 'internet tablet' and 'smartphone' whenever convenient (ie: marketshare calculation and whatnot).

Android, iPhone and Maemo all evolved from *nix roots in one way or another. Own up to the choices made.
