I see you have removed my comment criticising your review. Well. Since you appear unable to accept that there are issues with your review, I'd advise people to STEER CLEAR of it.
My points were: You complain about lack of hardware keyboard then say you would rather buy an iPhone. Smacks of fanboyism, iPhone != hardware keyboard. The real thing to recommend is a Touch Pro
You failed to see simple gestures and hardware points: the d-pad has a zoom wheel built into it. You failed to see this.
People buying this device will have a MANUAL. Most of TouchFLO 3D is intuitive, and for the parts that may need a manual... this is not even required if you read a DECENT review. Of LONG TERM, ACTUALLY USAGE rather than a few minutes failed pokings at a device by a bigoted fanboy. i.e. http://www.coolsmartphone.com 8 videos of a week of using the device. Have a look around, people.
The browser WILL turn when you turn the device. You obviously held it awkwardly or fucked up some other way. The reason (I'm guessing) that TouchFLO 3D wasn't designed to turn is that it is much harder to be finger-friendly in landscape. if you look at press shots of the Touch Pro, when the keyboard is extended, a "shortcuts" screen is shown. I'm guessing with it extended TouchFLO 3D is not available. It sort of makes sense not to allow people to turn the screen, although i would have preferred the option, with the shortcut menu thing shown when it was in landscape.
