so the orientation of the nokia logo at the top of the device would suggest that it is primarily used in portrait mode?

If you look at this picture and that one, it seems they are using through-hole instead of surface-mount. Now we have to see how it fare in real life.
VINDICATED!!!
You're all welcome.

Now if only they hired you back, gave you a payraise, and put you in charge of someone to make sure Nokia doesn't screw up the N9. =P

"forced" to tilt - as all n9 protos leaked so far.

I'm glad they went with the N97 type sliding mechanism. I always said my perfect phone have been the N900 with the N97's sliding keyboard hinge.
