Sure, conversations does not support vertical writing. However reading and scrolling through the messages is more convenient in the portrait mode. Would you write in portrait mode if you had the option? Probably not...

i am with you... while i admit there are some problems... a device is only good if it works for your purposes... for me... this addresses the things I need to get done.

it definitely is better and faster although I guess with flash 10.1 the browsing experience would be even better.
I think that it was hyped too much so many people is now disappointed.

Quite umderwhelmed to be honest. From a pure user perspective 1.2 only brings two updates to the table.
Maps are improved (but not as good as competition) or Nokias own symbian.
Skype video call - a feature that really should have been there at launch (AFAIK ff camera was not usable with anything before 1.2).
I personally don't feel any speed or power improvements. Fx media player still stutters plenty when using BT headset + recording GPS (ecoach).
All the horizontal views are for show only, as none can be used in that mode (can't write location in browser, write mail or sms/conversation).
To me, the only improvements are minor (shift arrows in browser to goto top/bottom of page and press hold to get alt symbols on keys).
The time spent on 1.2 really worries me for the future of Nokia software. Don't get me wrong, I love my N900, but with this update speed, it will fall behind and won't win over new users.
