Comment on Nokia's first Linux phone rocks

Comments

Everything operates in landscape mode except the phone?

On my iPhone, landscape mode usually means two hands, whereas portrait means one, using my thumb to point or scroll.

It's not a huge thing, but an important feature for me. My phone is on and working about 80% of the time I'm on the move and either not driving or talking to someone. So whether it's drinking coffee, carrying stuff into work, or handling toilet paper (hush!), all of these require effective single-hand operation.

Yeah, thinking about it here, I'd estimate large percentage of my iPhone operation is portrait and single hand. YMMV.

This Nokia Linux phone looks great, however, and I'm nitpicking. I am looking forward to choices in the marketplace.
