I'm leaning more and more towards the UX50, but I wasn't quite ready to switch to an entirely landscape oriented handheld. For web sites that makes a lot of sense, but for some of my regular day-to-day stuff I'd just as soon use it the old way.

(and delete any spam faqs so as not to confuse the poor souls) does anyone have questions that cant be answered with a search? __________________ I&hearts; UX

Sonicboy:

Please post a list as to what applications already support portrait mode. Screen shots of an application in portrait mode would also be awesome (if not asking too much).

I have been reading as much as I can about the UX and thought portrait mode was not possible. This is very good news...

Thanks...
