Default Landscape orientation?

Hey MotionApps:

Was thinking, is there any possibility that Classic could be made to rotate into the landscape view when the phone is turned sideways?

That way you would be able to take advantage of the greater screen width for times when you don't need the lower part of the screen. (Playing Solitaire, for example).

Thanks mucho!

Unfortunately Motionapps has chosen to emulate the 320x320 only Centro; so even if Classic were capable of screen rotation, it would not make the screen any wider....

You can enlarge it in protrait view by using pinch/spread, it just cuts off the edges. Why couldn't you do the same in landscape mode? You should be able to see more of the screen then...
