That's what I was thinking when you were all whining about not having a landscape keyboard.

Can I ask why? Honest question!
Thanks. Any more deep thoughts?
I don't mean to be a smart arse but couldn't you just stop it from going landscape by not rotating the phone? Or am I missing the point
Pre 3.0 I had a jailbreak hack that would turn off the rotation in safari. it was useful if you were laying in bed and didn't want it rotating all the time.
So it's possible to turn this stuff off. just don't expect it from Apple. Even 3.0 still warrants the jailbreak
Official Apple Protip: if you hate landscape mode, try using your phone in portrait... What a revolutionary concept.
P.S. If you don't like either:
Step 1: Grip your phone tightly with one hand...
Step 2: Shove it slowly up your anus...
Step 3: Start a thread on MacRumors explaining your discontent.
So you learn to adapt, eh? Did you learn to adapt to the lack of landscape keyboard for 2 years or were you in here bitching about it just like you're criticizing other people for doing?It is to some extent though. Realistically, what product fits exactly what you want to do all the time? My riding lawnmower shuts off every time you get off the seat (if a branch needs to be moved for example). I learned to adapt by sitting on a 50LB weight plate so when I get up there is still enough weight on the seat to not shut the mower off. See what I am getting at?
Everyone has different preferences for a device they own, some people love feature Z, others hate it with a passion. The best way to get through life is alert the proper channels if you really believe they will make a change, and then move on and work with it. Thats all I am trying to say, makes life a lot less stressful when people aren't getting bent about relatively minor things.
I gotta say, I'm the one that started this thread and even I'm surprised by all the replies here.
I really thought I was one of 3 guys in the world to care about this, but apparently there's more of us than I thought.
Thanks for all the fun, I really thought that "sucks to be you" was going to be the only response I'd get!
Nah, there are plenty of people that don't like the landscape.
But for me, I can type WAY faster on it and I can explain why. As my signature indicates, I started on a RIM950 as far as full QWERTY keyboards go. Here is a picture of one:
Not only does the iPhone in Landscape mode vaguely resemble that in shape, but the way I type on a phone might be unique to just me. When I type on a smart phone, I use my thumbs and middle (bird) fingers to hold the phone. And I use my index fingers to type.
Weird I realize, but I have always typed faster this way than the tradition thumb mehtod.
I do something similarly weird. I use the index and middle fingers of one hand to type. Much, much easier in landscape mode.Not only does the iPhone in Landscape mode vaguely resemble that in shape, but the way I type on a phone might be unique to just me.
