    MODS, please delete/lock my other thread. CB10 app on the Z10 is great but I have posted imcomplete posts by accident so many times. I don't know why I keep tapping the "Post" button at inoppurtune times.

    Back to the subject:

    I'm not sure if this is by design, but one side of the Z10 does not screen rotate when I'm holding the phone "upside down" (as in the phone is in portrait mode and the word "BlackBerry" is upside down). However, this works out the best for me because I sometimes watch videos when I'm lying down on my side, so when I hold the phone "upside down" in relation to floor, the phone is in landscape mode in relation to myself.

    I'm not sure if I explained it very well, but I hope BlackBerry continues to have one side of the phone that does not rotate the screen.

    That's by design.

    Unless you're in the southern hemisphere, you can't hold the phone upside down. In the southern hemisphere, the BlackBerry logo is always upside down! <I'm kidding>


    The screen only rotates in three directions.

    This is smart, IMHO. Keeps the button on top. My iPad rotates all four ways, but it makes sense because the charging/data port is on the bottom, so sometimes you want that facing you, and sometimes away. With the Z10 (and Z30) ports on the side, this isn't an issue.

    As an asside, what a$$hat decided to put the Z10 power port where it is??? You practically can't type in portrait mode when the power cord is in.

    No, you're right, but Australians don't notice because they're upside down anyway.

    ...in which case they're probably trying to rotate it from the backside of the device!
