Nice bug huh hehe... I am sure portrait mode will come handy (one handy 
) for everyone... can't wait to see actual implementation.

:S! Portrait on this OS, is utter ****! What's the point in portrait anyway?
Typing a text on the N900 on portrait, (without a stylus, which also requires two hands) with a resistive touchscreen isn't a very good idea.
And the rest of stuff seems pretty stupid as well on portrait. I was attracted to this device just because of how it looks on landscape & the sexy keyboard it has...so yeah, no big deal to me

Hello all, haha wow this is spreading like wild fire on the internet
Like i said, I had had the "launch by turning" on and as it started to open the phone app, i opened up the keyboard and closed the phone app.
I tried to make it glitch again, but it doesn't seem to work. I'll keep trying.
kopte3: Sure lol

Lol, what you've seen is a bug.
The phone switched orientation for the phone app and then somehow forgot to switch back when going to the desktop.
It sorta works, but the UI hasn't been adapted for this orientation.
One might also be able to force portrait mode on the desktop by using xrandr (which is not on the device out of the box). But will it look good or will it be usable?

i'm assuming u never used a 5800 or a n97 before then, cuz you can choose to use the dial pad with t9 and it's just as fast and accurate as a normal non qwerty phone. The size of the button is big enough to not make any mistake and confortable enough to text with one hand without looking.
as for web in portrait i agree isn't as useful

Well, my girlfriend has a N97 mini, so yeah, I have. But there again, it's also a lot easier to type with the physical keyboard imo.
+ the entire Symbian OS on portrait doesn't look that bad, whereas the whole "maemo has 4 desktops" wouldn't look that great.

Don't have an N900 but just thinking: if you open phone and then kill -9 the phone app . Wouldn't this leave the system in portrait mode?
