[Interest] Windows Phone & landscape orientation

[Alexander Ivash]

Thank you for the reply, now it is clear that implementing landscape in
portrait via rotation is the only way. Initial experiments showed that its
possible to do so, although a lot of places needs to be updated (at least
using approach from here
http://developer.nokia.com/community/wiki/Display_portrait_qml_application_in_landscape
), like Calendar, dialogs, dropdown lists of comboboxes etc. Probably I'm
missing something, but is there way to implement this rotation logic in a
single place?
