So now you just have to show where Nokia promotes texting in landscape or portrait mode while driving a train.

Ok, I guess I will have to wait til I get the actual device to play with itLike I said previously, if this device passed Nokia's usability experts then it should be good enough for the population. It's just that there's been very few landscape-oriented phones in the past.

The same would be true when I'd walk with my grocery bag to my car and someone phones me. The fact I can simply walk around and quickly navigate with my Nokia E71 and its little keyboard and dpad provides an advantage in certain situations; purely because of its design. However, there is not one perfect product suitable for everything.
While operating a mobile device with one hand, what is it that you suppose people are doing with the other? I mean, do you think that in at least a few cases their other hand is involved in a primary task that should have their attention?
You can also imagine that the application simply behaves different (in some ways more lightweight but maybe also allowing something good different because of change) and that this is optimized for the use cases.

For external use only. Not to be used as a flotation device.

It does contribute to global warming, because of all the trees that have been cut to produce those warning labels

Take the device with your right hand, clipped with the thumb on the screen, the middle in the back and the index on the shooter. Turn the device to the left so your hand is on top. Shoot!

Portrait mode in xterm, go convince https://garage.maemo.org/projects/osso-xterm/ (probably better with patches). fyi this is a project without UI designers or product managers (that I'm aware for). Be prepared.
Portrait mode for your shopping list, none of our business but you might want to talk to the PyRecipe developer.
