270 degree rotation in Symbian Belle?

Dan McGuire emailed this to us.

If you’ll look, the Belle homescreen is on the ‘wrong’ side. It’s showing landscape but on the right side of the phone, suggesting Belle possibly has 270 degree rotation.

Hopefully, this is in more places other than the homescreen. I find 270 degree rotation particularly helpful when using a phone in bed, just before going to sleep or first thing waking up. If you roll on one side and the phone can’t rotate the screen that way, well it’s going to be in an awkward viewing orientation.

(Note, I’m not which video this was a screenshot in, hopefully this was a split second catch as the phone should have already rotated to portrait)

Update: Cod3rror tips us the video. Check out 00:07, the phone is momentarily in landscape but quickly rotates (animations and all, returns from the frightfully crapnslow N97)
