Not working for me. In fact, the only apps I can get portrait to work consistently on are conversations and the browser.

in my humble opinion, the n900 is a series of nokia's internet tablets so it should, on default, run on landscape
me either had a long time getting used to it.

My Nokia N86 is primarilly a phone and therefore works primailly in portrait mode, it does how ever support landscape mode in every single app (obv not all 3rd party), without messing up the interface to the extent that the app is rendered useless.
I though 'them telling us' how to use a device was the apple forte, not nokias.

Works in FBReader too, so it's finally accelerometer-controlled. You have to go back to landscape to toggle fullscreen... but y'know, I don't mind all that much. 
I am now very happy indeed.

Experimental or not, it would still be awesome if we could get this working consistently. Some apps look awful in portrait but i think it still has a variety of valuable uses.
Anyone at least know how to map ctrl+shift+r to some sort of one button shortcut?

OK, I've done some more testing and here's what I've found:
-- I tested Conversations, App Manager, Contacts, Settings, FM Radio, Calculator, PDF Viewer, Photos, Email. I'm not nuts about portrait mode, so that seemed like plenty of testing for my purposes..
-- without exception, portrait mode stays enabled for any app that I've tested it on so far even after quitting and re-launching the apps (or switching between them).
-- portrait mode DOES NOT stay active after rebooting the device.
-- you can enable/disable portrait mode on multiple apps simultaneously by simply opening all of the apps you want to enable or disable it on before you press Ctrl+Shift+R. Kinda handy
Maybe this is the key? In my case, I'm activating it like this:
1 - launching the apps I want portrait mode enabled/disabled on
2 - opening the keyboard
3 - pressing Ctrl+Shift+R
4 - closing the keyboard
5 - closing the apps
6 - ???
7 - profit!
Not sure how else someone would do it, but hope this helps..
