Portrait

Do you re-orient the phone when you get deeper into a page/site?
yes, to landscape with an additional tweak to eliminate white borders

Do you resist having to re-orient?
No, but I get irritated that I have to.

Portrait.

I will re-orient, but resist having to.

Landscape.  I only use portrait if I am typing and want to see what I have written.

Portrait

Do you re-orient the phone when you get deeper into a page/site?
Come to think about it yes I do

Do you resist having to re-orient?
Na doesn't bother me. TBH I have to as I get hand cramp after awhile in one position

I only use portrait if I am typing and want to see what I have written.

Yea, PITA that.

Article site? You mean like BBC News or something? Landscape. If only because I hate horizontal scrolling

I only view proper mobile sites in Portrait mode.

[IrishWonder]

Portrait, I will only re-orient if I absolutely have to

I only read the BBC, but BBC always landscape. I can get the font larger, os I can read it. Portrait is just too tiny.

Do you re-orient the phone when you get deeper into a page/site?

mmm, not sure.  Will have to check.

Do you resist having to re-orient?

No, happy to swap so I can read more easily. often rotating.

Phone is an HTC desire if it makes any difference.

Depends on the site design.  Constantly adjust for ease of use.
That saidm I originally read this post in landscape from iPhone.

>Do you re-orient the phone when you get deeper into a page/site?
Yes.

>Do you resist having to re-orient?
Nope.  It's easy to flip when needed.
But, if a site was intentionally designed such that re-orienting was expected, it would be highly irritating.

Landscape.  Always.  And I appreciate being able to easily enlarge type.

>Do you re-orient the phone when you get deeper into a page/site?
I am always on landscape to begin with so this question doesn't really apply.

>Do you resist having to re-orient?
I'd be pissed if I had to re-orient see the site in portrait.
