Hi Rick, I tried out landscape but, by unlocking orientation, and found that I'm just to use to portrait mode. the last couple years of having my orientation locked has just made landscape foreign to me. I use the classic thumb typing style. I hold my phone like one holds a video game controller or, a hand held video game. I've been typing like this since the mobile speak days on my old HTC Mogul. haha.
