Wow, it seems that portrait mode really is a largely desired feature for users. I've now heard it mentioned in quite a few videos, and read about it quite a few blog-comments (unrelated to this forum).
I often wish my N810 had more portrait mode. Sometimes I just don't want to use two hands...

I've looked through this thread and could not work out if this has been answered.
When using the phone application in portrait mode do you have access to your contacts and if so how do you search through them?

I think that the contacts are portrait as well (could be wrong about this).

There is access to the contact list (through a specific portrait designed dialog) in portrait mode for the call UI, yes.

for me would be enough if Nokia added to portrait mode even only sms(read, write)...and calculator.. but hey, anything extra is welcome as long as it works
Ofcourse this means that the dashboard too would probably need to rotate.

Desktop and dashboard MUST support portrait, because when you unlock the device it will be in landscape and then the app you open will be in portrait and the dashboard again in landscape and so on .....

This is just a concept that shows that a portrait mode keyboard could indeed be usable (with keys that are not too small). The positioning of the keys is not indicative of actual key placement (I just whipped this up pretty quick). The other options are kind of squished on the side, so I'll have to figure out something about that.
Any suggestions?

I'd start with the iPhone's portrait keyboard. And the longer I think about this, the more I realize my left hand doesn't really know my device very well. I will need portrait badly, or my dog walking and working will no longer coexist. I have a feeling Nokia will get the GUI fully rotational in no time.

Not to mention that there will be a learning curve involved to get used to a non-standard layout. More fodder to those who want to pan the product.
Much rather prefer the T9 solution. Most Nokia users will anyway be used to it
