I'm not so sure about that one. The vast majority of all pocket calculators have always had portait format and were used hand held, just as ordinary phones, TV remotes and such likes. The smartphone was rather modeled after the pocket calculator ;-) There have been some shortlived attempts at landscape format smartphones (or "personal organizers" or whatever they were called) but the market rejected them.

Didn't we have a poll on this forum regarding portrait vs landscape not so long ago? The search function searches for it but unfortunately doesn't find.
