Run apps in full-screen Portrait mode 12
While the Pre's 3.1" screen isn't as big as some of the larger phones on the market, losing a little bit of screen real estate for the top bar and the notification dashboard may be an annoyance but isn't always a huge deal. However, on the smaller screen of the Pixi or Veer, losing these two areas can represent a sizable portion of the screen. For any app that supports rotation via the accelerometer, you can usually turn the phone all the way upside down to switch to a "full screen" Portrait mode to take advantage of the entire area of the screen. In the screenshots below, you can see the web browser in the standard portrait orientation and the upside-down position. Unfortunately, if you need the keyboard, you will have to flip the phone around again, unless you know how to type upside-down!

I didnt know that, also wish precentral was more mobile friendly.
they should embrace developing for mobile webkit,not fight it
I didnt know\notice that either. Not sure how useful it is on Pre but its good to know.
It will be good if we get an optional soft keyboard on the upcoming Pre's so that upside down we can still use a keyboard, or on it's side. I will never buy a phone without a physical keyboard but I'd always love a backup soft keyboard, best of both worlds.
So simple and yet I'm can't help thinking: cool! But then again, I am easily impressed these days :-)
the virtual keyboard works fine for me while the phone is upside down. except the backspace button, but that has never worked for me.
ive always done this with my pre-. works great. makes the screen SEEM a lot bigger too.
Dang! 2 years into this phone and I did not know that.
Vibram says they conceived of the Vibram Five Fingers Shoes as an alternative to traditional footwear, and it incorporates “barefoot technology.” That is, the Vibram FiveFingers KSO Trek strives to allow you to let your bare feet control the shoe. If you've been running in traditional running shoes your entire life, you may be skeptical about running in the unconventionally designed Five Fingers Sale Covert Grey Men's Shoes.
So no patch for full screen browser for Veer on Preware yet?
I think this problem can be easily solved if there is full screen browser patch like I found on my Pre+.
For bottom notification, I usually get rid of them ASAP after I receive it
For App runs on background such Neato / Music I prefer to open it on card, so they will not bother the screen estate.
But maybe this Tips can be quite handy sometime.
