P990i, by default is portrait display, switching to landscape does  
provide a 'fullscreen' mode, but hey, don't let a valid point get in  
the way of the argument!

I really don't understand this attitude, it was a very clear point,  
pressing F11 in a *large* number of browsers does not provide a  
'fullscreen' mode. I mean, how many mobile devices even have an F11?

Besides, this is what I would consider as the 'correct'  
implementation, from mart at degeneration.co.uk :
