Hi all,
Just a quick question. Is there anyway that you know of that you can use your Magician in Landscape mode but keep the phone in portrait mode. I love the landscape for everything else but I find the phone is much easier to use with one hand in portrait. Is there a registry tweak I can use or something like that?I really appreciate any help you might give and I thank you in advance. :D

Crazy or wot? How will the screen sizes match, then you need scroll bars and you keep scrolling on your screen and also the left out space being blank looks akward.. Anyway, this option cannot be done.. :)

I think you misunderstand what imapfsr is asking for. Basically, what he needs is for the magician to switch orientation when he brings the phone app up.

You can do this (sort of) by using MortButtons where you can select the oriention of each app in the menu. BUT, the problem is if you use a task switcher then you will have to switch orientation manually. And, I think, if you get a phone call whilst in landscape mode, that it will stay in landscape mode.
