Landscape works in certain apps, not in all environments. It's meant to be mostly a portrait-style phone, so the launcher, keyboard, calendar, and many core apps don't do landscape (they're optimized for portrait viewing anyway). Things that do landscape include YouTube viewer (of course), browser, Email (may need a patch...don't recall), and PDF viewer (with a patch), and there may be some others. Personally, I find landscape rather annoying since I'm used to the portrait format of my Treo/Centro over the years.
