Haha true, out in the world it probably wouldn't be ideal. Or you'd have to set the sensitivity threshold for quick to be like throwing it and it would end up in the lake.

Not everyone I call, or every call I make, are going to be contacts in my address book. In fact, because I will use it for my job, and as my only device (hopefully anyway), MOST phone calls will be to people who are NOT in my address book. I certainly don't want to add every Tom, Dick, and Harry I need to call to my address book to make it easy to call.

If Nokia intends for the switch to portrait mode to trigger phone application to be the main way of calling.

Completely OT, but this would be an awesome way to make a digital theremin on the N900 (one finger for screen pressure, the other for IR distance).

The phone can be used in both landscape and portrait mode. Also there is a setting where you can automatically make the phone launch if you hold the device in the portrait mode.
Thanks for the review.
i have seen everywere, that for use all apps, you must be on landscape mode...

I think he meant the phone application itself can be used in both landscape and portrait (and indeed videos prove this). For apps right now it is landscape mode only (though Nokia plans on making some of the apps later on like browser and email maybe portrait mode with an update).
And individual developers can choose to make a portrait mode if they want. But it's not officially supported (as in here's an API to do that for you).

Please dear avid readers of this forum bear in mind difference between something not supported and something not there. It is kinda like a river... is there supported bridge somewhere or just a river crossing you can get over the river at your own risk. Totally different from Nokia telling you "hey there is NO way over the kwai river"
