what i did was

    - first, turn on the portrait/landscape option by changing the following registry value from 1 to 0:
 
        HKLM\System\GDI\Rotation\HideOrientationUI

    - then assign <Rotate Screen> to the hardware button 1 or button 2 by going to Settings->Personal->Buttons

    - Next, fire up GarminXT and press the assigned button to change to landscape mode.

hope this helps.

hmm...i installed spb shell 3.0 into my phone and it's smoother compared to samsung UI(not as pretty though) but today i encountered one problem, I went to launcher and the screen turn black but I can still see the top bar (i.e. the start button, large indicator and the x)...it does nothing after i clicked the back button or the reject button...but i still can go into different application by touching the blank screen... rclxub.gif  rclxub.gif  rclxub.gif i gotta restart my phone..anybody encountered that b4??

and i realized it took so long to switch to qwerty keyboard during sms...something it doesnt even switch.. doh.gif  doh.gif

still love my phone though...but quite jealous when i see my colleague's iphone is so bloody smooth..

Im using spb3.5 and it worked like a charm, almost as smooth as iphone in most cases. Maybe you should install the latest SPB 3.5.. try google it for "cheaper alternatives". brows.gif Almost all items are big enough for my big finger. I do encounter the same problem as you do after i installed spb.. my qwerty keyboard doesnt appear anymore after i tilt the phone. So i resorted the badger's solution by edit registry of the phone, setting one of the buttons to rotate the screen. It worked like a charm and my qwerty keyboard reappear after i press the button. Also, with the button im able to run garmin on landscape mode, which with the 3.7" AMOLED, it's awesome.

btw, can TS add me to the new omnia2 user list?

been using winmo 6.5 for several days on spb shell 3.5. noticable lag during texting, as in the predictive input wasnt as responsive as previously. sometimes my finger types faster than the predictive output and i have to pause to let the system catch up, which is such a shame. other than that, no major difference or advantages upgrading to 6.5.
