Putty on Nokia 5800

5800 will be my favorite device.. until i get my hands on a "Android Phone" but for now the reality is I have a Nokia 5800 for few more weeks

Lets face it, Nokia is not yet ready with there Touch capability phones yet, certainly impresses an onlooker but not geeks or "iPhone" fans. Still i Love nokia and i partially like 5800.

One application i hvb'n trying out on this device is Putty for s60. Its a port of popular Putty ssh client on to symbian OS. It is a nice application but has few problem with 5800. One being
1. Once connected to ssh server then what?
Yaa this seems to be a silly question bt blv me i dint have a clue what to do next

All i can see is a blank screen. See below




I have to set fulscreen to see the console. when i want to execute a command HOW DO I DO IT???





The simple trick to make this work the way it was suppose to work is:

1. in 5800 phonesettings->phone->sensorsettings teep the sensor on for Auto-rotate
2. Open Putty connect to the server once cnnected rotate you handset 90degree Anti-clock wise. Now you shoud be able to see this

From here on you can use putty in a convenient fashion
