I don't mean to rain on the parade but it's just a mechanical switch in the camera's swivel. They've been doing the same trick for years on any flip and turn LCD like on video cameras and digital cameras with flip-out LCDs.
When the camera rotates to 0 degrees it clicks the switch and flips the video upside down. I think there was mention on here about someone who's N800 DIDN'T flip and that was most likely because it was broken.
Why the camera test app doesn't acknowledge the orientation switch is strange but it's just a proof of concept. I would assume the Maemolomo (Malomo?) project in the Garage will flip when expected to though.
Besides, the camera is crap
the (up until this point) lousy camera in my MDA Wizard is better.
