Why no rotated/landscape incoming call screen?

I can understand that maybe it could have been because the buttons would have moved out of place.

What if the landscape screen kept the buttons in the same place, but changed the orientation of the picture and number. This bothers the heck out of me, especially when the phone is sitting on my dock and I have my headset on or want to use the speaker.

Seems like it would be simple enough - put the phone in Landscape Mode, rotate the caller ID pic and number 90 degrees clockwise where it sits, then rotate, as a whole, the number and toggle button layout 90 degrees clockwise where it sits. Seems as simple as the difference between the Portrait/Landscape Modes of the Car Dock layout.

Unfortunately, I know nothing about programming such things.
