E330/335 owners.

There is a freeware app which will rotate your screen to Landscape mode! :D

I tried it on my E330, and it works fine. :way to go:

A few screens, like the Today Screen, don't properly stretch in Landscape Mode, but are still useable. But most programs seem to work fine in Landscape, like Pocket Excel for example.

The only thing required is a Soft Reset, anytime you wish to rotate the screen.

Although the program's doc said to back up my data before loading, I didn't bother, and had no problems whatsoever.

The Rotate for E330/335 is actually just a registery setting. But if you were to change this registery setting on your own, the screen will rotate, but the screen alignment would still reflect portrait mode, so the registery alone doesn't make the Landscape Mode fully usable. I changed this setting in my registery, and it took a fair amount of effort to put it back to the way it was, so I don't recommend trying it.

The freeware Rotate330 app does everything, so your Landscape mode will work perfectly.

Here is the location to download the app:

Pity it doesn't work with the e750. This is exactly the type of easy no hassles (apart from the soft reset of course...) screen rotation I have been looking for but there do not seem to be any that work on the e750 (WM2003).

I have Nyidot but it is just too damn big, buggy and complicated for what I need.

Oh well back to searching...
