yeah but certain vital apps such as msn messenger is still not supported.
portrait mode activated by a code????? O_o that's just stupid, every touch screen phone being released now all come with automatic screen rotation, worst with a screen real estate such as the nokia n900 this should have been fully implemented from the start.
In regards to the Iphone and its lack of feature at it initial release, that was done on purpose by apple, If you remember the release of OS 3.0 that was apples last trump card the extent the Iphones rain of glory over the cell phone market, and ensure a couple more years of sale by adding feature that people so badly wanted such as landscape texting sms.
But there as been no great hype over the n900, partly because of the lack of support. and i bet you have to wait a good while before they open a free online app store for that device. which have become a life line for most mobile phone OS's.
i just think they basically ruined this device, with a premature OS, and 5 years is more than enough time to have released a SDK to ensure a decent amount of support for it's release date.
thumbs down still.
