ok, i think i've got something here. I found on a forum (http://maemofr.org) that Fennec Beta 3 is now release and that the final version will be release with the N900. I gone on Mozilla.org to ask them directly about the portrait mode of their browser. Here is the mail :

That will be very important for the Nokia N900 device !


Hi Gaëtan,

Fennec will definitely support portrait mode. As an example of how the UI changes, the set of browser tools icons will be across the bottom of the screen rather than along the side when in portrait to save screen space.

This is great news! Nokia is already making the portrait mode available for a couple of the builtin apps.
And i´m pretty confident than when n900 is being sold the community will want more portrait compability, nokia want be late to answer that.

A good example is the new 2.0 ui that they made for n97, after request from the consumers mostly. (?)

Time will show..

More is always better.. My 20+ employees company prefer the iphone as long as no portrait on the N900.

Stupid to let a software issue stop this unit from being a word wide success..

Don't forget, the iphone was not fully established when the N800 was released..

Competition these days is fierce, if the N900 is to take up the competition with the market, I firmly belive it has to implement portrait mode as well.

I suspect some apps will support portrait and some wont. The developers that really want a large install base (which generally care about ui, user satisfaction, etc) will be more likely to include this feature. Stagnant apps that update once per year, may not be so quick to include it.

The jury's still out regarding whether or not the UI will support portrait in the future.

There IS portrait mode on n900. Just like there IS landscape mode on the iPhone. It's just not everywhere around. Stupid to not read what others are writing.

If you guys would produce a list in order of priority of what you would want to be in portrait mode, perhaps Nokia could use that for help in prioritizing work.

By the way, is there any way to bring this issue in Nokia's attention? Or have they already noticed the demand for it?

edit:

But hey, Konttori, aren't you one of the Nokians?
