There is a hack in the repositories, but last time I tried it, it was unstable for some apps.

I think it's a matter of getting used to.

You better keep on Landscape mode, this phone wasn't designed for portrait users. But there are some apps that can work in portrait such as web.

The app is at the app manager, called "Braek"

That application gives you a broken screen effect, not portrait mode  Shocked

Web browser has a built in portrait mode without the need of Ctrl+Shift+O (actually, that doens't work anymore). Click on web, click on the main title ("Web") and click on Options -> Settings.
There's an Auto Rotate option. Toggle it and you're done.

The phone itself has portrait mode on some applications, but you have to enable it using Control + Shift + R.
Not every application looks good in portrait (e.g. the media player)
