Congrats Opera, you have done it again. You have made a very good browser. Now, please (some time soon) enable me to rotate the screen view. It's not that much to ask, is it?

Yes, it is. Performance will go severely down. Rotating is CPU consuming and the J2ME implementation must have a good support for it, and usually it's not.

Only if you are not rotating by 90, 180, 270 degrees. On those it is straightforward (like as mirroring).
