Why wouldn't they just do automatic portrait orientation every time you want to rotate...rather than pressing the keyboard keys every single time??

true..people saying the portrait mode is useless is rather hipocrite or just being ego..
i bet those who said the portrait mode is useless will eventually use it too..
so,what's the problem here IF portrait mode is going to be implemented? u dont like it?then dont use it..why should u brag about it?
2 orientations are better than 1!!
to those who said portrait mode is useless : kill yourself if u ever happen to use your device in portrait mode........
so to say...NOKIA, WE'RE ACCEPTING PORTRAIT MODE WITH ARMS WIDE OPEN.......

I don't understand people opposition to portrait mode. It is an extra feature which is wanted by many and would be useful, sometimes I dont have both hands free so it'd just be easier to use one.
Why would you not want that?

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.

I guess the idea is by adding portrait mode they take away developmental time from fixing other bugs and what not.
Frankly I don't care about portrait mode myself, I use it once in a blue moon (when standing on the metro), although I don't like auto-rotation. I prefer manual switching into portrait mode.

I WAS developer, having sources, Abstract Data Types, living the insides of Maemo5... how many code-hours could you spent making a desktop-maemo apps-menus-pops portrait mode? (please, not again "widgets are not square", there're two obvious solutions).
Yes, you are right. And I hopefully wrong, because ONE developer is too short for this "enterprise" of n900.
