It seems you can run other things, not just the dialer and photo browser, in the portrait mode on the Nokia N900. According to Guyver at the maemo.org forums, there’s a glitch in the OS that allows for this, and we’re hoping it will be included with the next firmware update. The idea to use two hands for everything isn’t appealing, and I’m sure Nokia’s listening. C’mon folks, release the damn firmware update and make this a part of the system. Please.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do.
In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.
Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
