Check those applications/options you consider absolutely essential to be supported in portrait mode. Please try to prioritize, checking all options is meaningless.

The phone style on-screen keyboard is listed as an option for text/number entry in applications other than the dialer (for example messaging with in combination with T9, etc)

I would think the dialpad osk would already be in portrait mode, no?

Yes, but it was suggested to be used for generic one hand text entry (via T9), like for messaging, not just the dialer.

It says which one do you want "first", but it lets you vote for more than one? that seems backward. I followed the "first" and only voted for one item (screensaver/clock), but really, all of those things should be on the list. For me, the order would be:
  1. Screensaver/Clock/Status-Notifier
  2. Desktop/Dashboard
  3. Media Player
  4. Contacts
  5. Calendar
    (day view, event list, and task list; I'm agnostic about week and month view)
  6. Tie between:12-key keypad for T-9 style input AND full qwerty portrait keyboard
    (Need at least one of those, IMO, before messaging and email are useful in portrait mode ... and I don't care which one it is)
  7. Messaging
  8. Email
  9. Document Viewer

First as in 'first batch' (not native English speaker, sorry for the confusion ). Nokia likely won't be releasing them one by one but in SSU-s. I felt forcing people to pick a single most important app would be wrong, and polls don't let you order or spread a number of points accross multiple entries... That's why I went for multiple choices and a pretty please explained in the first post

Contacts ?
I think Quim did say that Contact is already in portrait mode - the contacts list used to call up anyone.

The Contacts app isn't.

Thanks for this poll. Normally, I don't like polls, but... Good idea!
