As I understand it, the only built-in app that can use portrait mode is the phone app. (And possibly the image browser app?)

They're doing an S60 client though and presumably a Maemo one too, and of course they have a webmail page for access through a browser.

That's just nuts.
The big problem is that Ovi's issues will be seen as device issues as well. Nokia has reached a point in certain markets where they flat cannot afford these easily avoidable goofs and gaps. Poor service really hurt the N800's reputation-- the market won't tolerate too much more of that.

You are welcome. And I hope you did not miss Anssi Vanjoki quote: "The Nokia N900 shows where we are going with Maemo and we'll continue to work with the community to push the software forward."

my impression would be since it's running a fully loaded mozilla browser it'd be able to access any of Google's services as you would normally from a desktop browser--no?
1) situations where you've got NO signal, but still want to know your appointments, check a phone number to dial from a landline, etc.
2) situations where you're trying to change something, but the signal is so low/slow that it's unbearably unusable.
3) when a Google App is down (it has happened), and you want to look at your last known data set.
Even Google lets you do syncing of their apps (with Gears on regular platforms, and it's built-in to Android).

- Sync with Oracle Calendar
