It would worry me if there *was* a way to suppress it. Control of
the
device belongs to the user, and providing a single funnel
interface (the
tel: protocol and its associated UI) to the dialing system brings
us one
step closer to assuring that.

Thanks for the response.
So is there any means by which I can change the orientation of the
dialer
when the device orientation changes?
You should never change the orientation of the dialer. Why?
The receiver is
at the top of the device and transmitter (i.e. mic) is at the
bottom of the
device.
Unless you're using a Bluetooth headset - then it doesn't matter.
Maybe put in a feature request that if a bluetooth headset is
currently paired with the iPhone, then you can orient the dialer
screen in landscape (or will stay in landscape if a call comes in
while the user has the phone in landscape orientation.)
Thus, when one answers a call or makes a call, the phone will be in
portrait
orientation. Please don't try to implement feature(s) that
violates the
user
experience on the iPhone. Thus, I would highly recommend reading the
following:
iPhone Human Interface
Guidelines<http://developer.apple.com/iphone/library/documentation/
UserExperience/Conceptual/MobileHIG/index.html>
Good luck,
