If you're referring to the Motorola Q, which will have a QVGA landscape
Smartphone (non-touch) screen, then it's already been discussed and the
last I heard we're just waiting for Microsoft to release the emulator
image. It is not ready yet, but the OS does support landscape and it
will be released.

It's funny, it seems like Motorola even surprised Microsoft by turning
the smartphone sideways.

Yeah, and more surprises will come when most applications are not
displayed correctly because the windows are too tall.
