At least on on the N900 once the keyboard is opened the screen orientation is locked to landscape, as you usually don't want the screen to be in portrait at all when using the keyboard.
This is especially useful when typing in awkward angles (lying in bed, etc.), in moving vehicles (bus, car, boat, aircraft, etc.) or when placing the device with open keyboard on an inclined surface.
sliding out the keyboard does indeed tend to set most applications in landscape mode however a number of Android screens (settings comes to mind) stubbornly keep in portrait mode, so i guess, N900 was (one of) the last barrel(s) to get off the platform before it was lost and expecting a mobile device that (simply) works will require... some more coding on the part of the community (though i only got my 1st N900 about 5 years ago, so i don't know how bad things were right after the release)
PS: the device runs CyanogenMod 11 (4.4.2), as "community" as it possibly can
PPS: thanks by the way for including it into the SailfishOS port effort
PPPS: so far, the only properly working mobile i found since my 2nd N900's USB port went south is a Lumia with (of course) 8.x
not looking forward to 10 update / upgrade, as it will be same ol' m@ke$$h!t crap over again like 7 was, before NOKIA got to work on it...
maybe Jolla & TOHKBD2 will have to rise to the challenge?

could you please post a picture of your Jolla with TOHKBD2? i ordered an orange-mapple one because it was the closest to THE FIRST ONE TOH but if the Jolla & TOHKBD2 has to become my primary that obviously would become... a little too flashy, maybe?
then again, if Jolla + TOHKBD2 prove to be usable, they deserve the attention
EDIT: with usable i don't question the TOHKBD2's team effort - you guys are doing a tremendous job!
what i think currently is not up to par is SailfishOS, alas
will that ever change?

Ok, how do I install the software (as in where do I find it)?

I don't recall what the expectation was to be honest, but isn't it easiest to remove the keyboard altogether, take the picture and put it back again, rather than opening the keyboard and take a picture with a heavier and more awkward device?
Anyway, since the TOH was designed with that in mind I'm fairly sure this will be introduced in an update later.

All times are GMT. The time now is 02:01.
Edit: after another reboot it works
So far the back's a little bit wobbly and the spacebar could use a little more pressure points but other than the initial result is awesome so far
