If they just add portrait texting and browsing, I am guessing 95% of smartphoners will be happy. The other 5% will never be happy anyway

So, the making of a good experience for portrait mode is a big and complex task, which may or not be done for Maemo 5.
The key things people want are browser support, and messaging support right? Would nokia own the messaging, and a 3rd party could own the browser - e.g. opera or mozilla etc?

Especially with the n900 having a HW keyboard, the onscreen keyboard would not be the problem it was with the n800 for rotation.
what about the hacked together rotation plugin for the N8x0 NITs, could that not be modified to work for maemo 5?

:Twitter aside. I never got the popularity of texting. You're holding a freakin' phone in your hand pounding out words one letter at a time to be sent to someone else who is also holding a phone in their hand... Duh!

Off course, a virtual keyboard in portrait mode needs to be developed...

You think so? Nokia could not have been blind to the fact a device with a form factor popularized by the iphone, with a bigger bread basket of functionality, stronger stats than any competitor that it would not cross over from geeks to dorks and mainstream consumers. Look at the early adverts. They were people going to concerts, and sms'ing, using location tools to find friends etc. there was no one doing a 'gotomy pc' or ssh'ing into their server.
They are getting what they asked for. We are getting what we asked for
I'll take it anyway...
