Incoming call screen needs to be locked to Portrait ONLY!!!
- Hey RIM, I hope you're listening, if not, please do so.
When an incoming call comes in, please for the love of God force the screen orientation to be in Portrait ONLY. Why do you lock out the Phone App to be used in Portrait only, but leave the incoming call screen to be in landscape sometimes (depending on orientation prior to the call). That's just silly and here's why.
Say a call comes in and the screen in in landscape. Well, you go and instead of hitting End to send the call to voicemail, you decide to hit End on the screen, only the screen desides to change orientation because you moved the phone a bit and not the End in landscape has just turned into Send in portrait and you just answered the call. Yeah... STUPID! Change it please, there's no reason for it to be like this.03-01-09 04:15 PMLike 0 - Hey RIM, I hope you're listening, if not, please do so.

No, but I totally agree with you. It really boggles my mind why they would code it so haphazardly like that. You'd expect better from the "experts" at RIM right!?03-01-09 04:27 PMLike 0 - It's called blinders... Either that or Canadians are weird like that. I don't understand why they do half the stupid stuff they already do on the device. Some of it is not very intuitively thought out. I really wish they would LISTEN to us a little more then they pretend to do now.03-01-09 04:31 PMLike 0
- I have long since gave up on the on-screen buttons for calls.
It was like playing an angry game of simon.
I just ignore the screen and use the hard buttons.03-01-09 05:29 PMLike 0 - I just use the hard buttons but I have missed many MANY important calls because the phone has trouble going from landscape to portrait in the incoming call window...FIX THIS, if I start loosing money because my phone won't operate the way it is supposed to do I might need to think about something else03-01-09 05:37 PMLike 0

Same here much better... I don't know why people bother with the screen.

Too bad because once you're on the call, it goes to portrait only anyways. They should have thought of this issue ahead of time... ahead of producing all these accessories.03-01-09 07:59 PMLike 0 - I was the one with the complaints before, lol I don't have the problem where I hit end to send it to voicemail, what happens to me is I press talk thinking it answers then put the phone to my ear only to have the ringer start back up...RIGHT IN MY FRIGGIN EAR DRUM then have to press talk again to answer it. Pain in the ***. Let's go, I can look past a lot of the crap that got put out with os .75 (the os we are supposedly still all on) but to not be able to answer my phone, the main function of this glorious device, that's pretty bad!03-01-09 08:22 PMLike 0
- ^^^ That's not a problem I have with 109 and certainly not what this thread is about. Obviously, if I had that problem I wouldn't mind it when it shifts orientation between one and the other causing me to push Send rather then End.03-01-09 08:40 PMLike 0
- I agree with you, but I just wanted to give reason to why (I think) it even has a landscape mode for answering calls.03-01-09 09:27 PMLike 0
- I fully agree, but then I'm also one who wishes the orientation could be manually locked if desired. I also think there should be an easier way to bring up the number pad if you place a call. I make a lot of calls that require me to input menu options once connected and I'm always fumbling around trying to get the key pad while the automated voice is repeatedly asking me to input my selection...lol!
