    yeah - those i saw - but some people on comments mentioned other applications. also i'm curious if you can also write sms or read on portrait or it's only menu
    You can't write sms, but only because on-screen keyboard doesn't support portrait (it's shown in landscape)

    <optimism> Maybe it's going to be like they did with the browser. 1.1 brought semi-official keyboard shortcut that enables limited portrait mode, 1.2 will bring official rotation setting in menu and improved portrait controls. Will 1.3 bring official rotation to these apps? </optimism>
    Honestly though, the uses are extremely limited without a portrait keyboard. I'd probably like to see a portrait media player most, it would be much more comfortable to use one handed.

    That must be YOUR choice.
    I'm using it, I love it, some lags here and there, but nice for me.
    But It can be a disaster for you!

    An improved version of this better be in the official 1.2 firmware. I still don't understand why a phone that is supposed to be so powerful and "geeky" can't do autorotation in the stock apps. This hack/testing mode doesn't work properly in many apps, so it's only a taste of what I hope is yet to come.

    a) Not allowed to link that.
    b/ Titan's OC works nice with LPR1.2 (if your LPR1.2 installation does not brick your phone).

    I dont understand why the link for this download cannot be given on here i really dont know what the ruling is and why but for anyone wanting to download the leaked firmware then all you have to do is do a search on google for the torrent file linked to this forum <removed search>.

    It is against the Nokia EULA. Not posting the links on here frees maemo.org from any legal issues if Nokia decided to sue.

    it's the same reason you can't post ROMs or links to cracked software or mp3s on forums

    I Got a few things to say, So here I go :

    1. The announcement of Portrait mode coming in PR1.2 in the OPs links is just pure speculations, he tried leaked PR1.2 Found out he can rotate with the shortcut and decided it's coming in PR1.2.
    2. Then, in the middle of the article he says "maybe PR1.3?" - So honestly we don't no anything. It might come, it might not, it might be just a hack for developers that will actually get disabled in PR1.2!
    3. @ Kingoddball - There was an official (as official that it gets) post by qule in TMO, the he managed to get one of nokia reps to say PR1.2 is coming in a month period. There are too many risks with Leaked PR1.2 to take, when you know it's only 1 more month to wait. Just wait it out!
    4. I don't think portrait mode, if it comes, will render vertsms useless, as it's concept is different from full featured VKB, vertSMS might be more convenient for 1 hand use, or typing will driving.

    OFF Topic Alert :
    My Girlfriend got an Iphone 3gs 2 days ago, I have some quality time with it and here are my impressions.
    Pros :
    1. Visuals are silky smooth.
    2. Appstore is sick.
    3. Everything works in Portrait mode.

    Conns :
    1. Virtual Keyboard sucks.
    2. Selecting and deleting text sucks.
    3. Cannot set mp3 to ringtones without all sort of hacks, with didn't even work so far...
    4. No Flash.
    5. Cannot minimize apps to start / stop music / make phone call. LAME. (without jailbreaking it ofc).
    6. Battery survives far less then N900.
    7. Cannot take battery out to replace.
    8. Cannot copy music out of it like a normal MP3 player.
    9. Cannot manually connect and disconnect to 3g network AMG.
