If they do enable portrait mode I'd personally like to scroll between screens vertically! Try swiping on your own phone! The side-to-side swipe in (simulated) portrait mode feels kinda awkward but swiping from top to bottom and vice versa feels great 
This way the looped wallpaper would still work, even tho if it's a wallpaper with distinct orientation it would unfortunately be tilted. However abstract looped wallpapers would still look really cool What do you think about this?

maybe someone could take advantage of this and write something up if nokia decide to change their mind and not enable portraite mode. This phone is Open Source right.......... lol

No offence, but your post title is misleading: a bug in the firmware (and a much-discussed one at that) doesn't imply that Nokia is going to officially support portrait mode, as the OP suggests. For that matter, I wouldn't get too excited about it. I'd like it as much as the next guy, but doing it properly isn't as easy as you might think.

If you guys get stuck in portrait mode. There is a way to fix it. Just close all apps apart from phone. Then lock the phone (double press power button or use side lock slider) then when the phone is locked press the power button once and the "Slide to Unlock" screen appear. Make sure your phone is in landscape while u slide it and it will go back into landscape mode
