Writting SMS in portrait mode
 
Does anyone know if it is ,or for that mater will be, possible o write sms in portrait mode using a vr keyboard?? An app or something that will allow you to switch between layouts etc?

Is it in the works, or is it being considered...?

Cheers

Definately needed, is getting to be a pain - likewise for internet browsing being able to in portrait but not being able to enter text or go back etc unless turning to landscape is annoying.

Aye, love the phone but it's not very "one hand use" friendly :(

Just a portrait mode keyboard to begin with would be awesome. The applications could then follow with rotation support - this has already been implemented in the browser but you have to flip back to landscape mode to use the keyboard.

if you have the latest firmware (PR1.1) just press ctrl-shift-o in the browser and you'll activate automatic orientation detection ( i.e., if you rotate your phone the browser should rotate). the same to deactivate. beware that this is an 'easter egg' and not really ready for prime time. some stuff won't work while in portrait mode.
I actually deactivated this function as I prefer the portrait mode.

SMS is a phone feature,and phone features should be in portrait mode.

I wonder about that as well. Sygic went into the trouble of programming their own virtual keyboard to use within their maps application. Works in both portrait and landscape modes.

That Sygic did, for a single application, makes it quite fascinating that Nokia hasn´t done so since they´re making the whole phone.
