I guess it might be just me, but I would hope that when holding one's baby, the person's primary focus would be on the baby (those things can be so encumbering......)

Now I get it. There's one main use-case for single handed operation that nobody has mentioned explicitly. Onanism.
I rest my case.

You're a gentleman and a scholar (with hairy palms).

Hell, you could even throw in the SideKick as a comparison for the use cases.
ogahyellow, assuming those are the only relevant portrait mode use cases totally ignores one of the greatest devices of the decade, the N95, which ushered in the totally portrait mobile computing we see today. You can do ANYthing in portrait with relative ease and convenience, as the N95 showed. I've composed and posted 99% of all my blog posts, device reviews, articles and market analysis reports, including images, from my N95 or other one handed review devices, so I know firsthand. I don't even use PCs anymore, and doing so now is a big shock. (my device is broken, my backups are on loan or sold because I'm financially struggling, and I have to wait for a gifted N900 to get mobile again) You might need to research the N95 and N97's rabid user base and find out exactly what can be done in one hand in portrait nowadays.
I see where you are coming from with the comparison, but look at how your input got into the N95. The default was portrait mode. How I longed for an N95 in landscape. I took a trip to NYC just to go to the Nokia store and check out the N97 and was totally underwhelmed. The N900 blew my socks off (I had to take a trip up the turnpike for that too!).
My opinion is just that, an opinion. I think a well-implemented ASR would be a bear. Now my limited development experience is in PHP for web, and what little I have done in my university classes.

Does the N95 even have useable landscape data input mechanism?
AFAIK it only has a keypad that works in portrait mode. The landscape mode is triggered when you slide the screen to the other side, exposing the multimedia keys and COVERING the main keypad. Even if you can force it to landscape with the keypad uncovered, then it'd be really awkward to 'write' with a sideways T9 keypad.

I guess. I just said something that you didn't agree with, so I'm spreading bad vibes. I'll say what I like, and I'm tired of being told not to speak. If you don't like it, email your moderater buddy and tell them. I'm done playing nice. I'm grown too. So if you don't like what I have to say, just don't respond. I'm going to act like all the old heads here. I don't give a flip. I'm here for me, and not you.
This to all Chris' followers too, ASR system-wide is getting done, maybe as soon as next year. This has clearly been stated by Nokia, with harmattan. You can update fremantle to it when it's done and ready.

You dudes are sick
,...my type of ppl.But I live in NY and will need one handed support for evening rush hour on the train. My pmp right now is the ONDA vx777 which has no portrait support and it ain't easy changing songs on that thing when the train is packed and moving.
