Just a portrait mode keyboard to begin with would be awesome. The applications could then follow with rotation support - this has already been implemented in the browser but you have to flip back to landscape mode to use the keyboard.

I actually deactivated this function as I prefer the portrait mode.

That Sygic did, for a single application, makes it quite fascinating that Nokia hasn´t done so since they´re making the whole phone.
