Can anyone please do a quick doublecheck for me?

The supported orientations are specified in the application registry (appreg.db), independently for each application, in the "supportedOrientation" property. They are enforced by the ScreenRotationService implementation. There's a bit more voodoo happening as well (and I don't know how exactly it works for WAF apps), but that's the idea. Check the
"all rotations" patch source (FW 5.1.x, obviously) for a few more clues.

Most of the people (including myself) say the opposite: subjectively, reading generally got better with 5.1.x. And I don't think it's a wise choice to keep an old version: you stay with all the bugs, security holes, and missing features - and you're probably cutting yourself off from much of the development here, which naturally is targetted at the most up-to-date versions. But in the end, you're of course free to do whatever you want
