Question was asked many many times on the forums.
If not, I might as well sell the phone. Portriat is useable in many ways. It should at least be an option.

I've read romewhere on the forums that it might be possible to add new vertical homescreens with some programming skill. (roughly 9 can be added landscape mode by standard,) Or create a desktop where all icons are displayed in a 90 degree angle. And with some tinkering you might get the accelerometer to activate the four new homescreens in portrait mode, whilse the keyboard is not out. This way you get 4 empty homescreens, witch can be set up by the user to match the existing landscape homescreen (or not).

Can somebody with more understanding of this verify wether this is do-able?

I've seen this being discussed before, but never really thought of it. Could you somehow use ukeyboard to create a psuedo-portrait keyboard?

(Search "portait keyboard N800")
