    Ne@polis, press ctrl+shift+o again disables rotation.

    or alternativley, open the keyboard (this seems to flick it back to landscape)

    This may well happen in landscape mode too, but the screen height is too short for it to be noticed.
    I don't seet this at all in landscape, but it is very wavy/watery in portrait. Also, one cannot do anything in portrait except for view: no adding/getting bookmarks, etc., or touch/hold screen to invoke context menu.

    Hopefully, what we are seeing is only microB portrait mode beta and it is not finished yet, as has been suggested elsewhere on thse boards.

    It's already been said that this is not finished yet, it's just a sneak preview for us to see what it could be like. It's still useable to read long webpages with columns, so it's better than nothing, right ?

    Took me 2/3 tries to get in working, but now it works fine. (or as good as can be expected for an unfinished revision).

    Works every time I rotate now, even after a power cycle.

    Great stuff! - here's waiting for gui updates??

    I've downloaded and updated the latest version of software (2.2009.51-1) which should enable the Internet to be viewed in portrait mode, but surprise, surprise, it doesn't !!
    I phoned Nokia, and their resolution was to switch the phone off, take the battery out, hold the power down for 10 seconds, replace the battery then start the phone, but to no great surprise, this didn't have any affect.

    Has anyone else had this problem please ?

    Did you try the shortcut?

    Ctrl + Shift + O on keyboard

    You need to, if you want to enable portrait.
    Then just use the shortcut again if you want to disable it.
