The prodlem of the rotating camera not flipping and the Internet Call App not launching is sporatic on my N800 with Diablo.
Not the best camera anyway. But it's still a great little device!

For all those who have this annoying camera bug
1. Shutdown N800 with camera pushed in
2. Take out battery for 10 mins (some report less time is ok)
3. ****Pull out the Camera**** while unit is off and battery is out
4. Replace battery (make sure camera still out)
5. Start N800
6. Start New Internet Call application while camera still out
(it should work) then close app and push camera in.
7. Now pull camera out should autolaunch internet call app and autoflip
This process was the only thing that worked for me and I had tried everything else.

Thanks migs, that worked for me, although I only took the battery out for about 20 seconds.

I tried the procedure above and the only thing that happened was that on reboot the splashscreen "stuck" until I tapped the screen.

I'm just glad the EU installed a mandatory 2 year warranty period, or I would have been SOL-ed on my broken tablet. Nokia just does not seem to be a nice company. At all. (see the snooping law they managed to bully through the Finnish parliament)

All Nokia Politics aside, in my experience with the N800 camera issue I've found that it seems to be related in powering up the device from the "charging" state. If you have the tablet connected to the charger but "turned off" and you turn the tablet on, the camera doesn't work properly; if you disconnect the charger and make sure the tablet is completely "off off", then turn it on from there it seems to work just fine everytime... in my experience at least. Can anyone else verify that behaviour? If so my bet would be that there's something in the Diablo low-power initfs that's causing the issue... I mean, no closer to a permanent resolution, but at least if we can narrow down the problem to what exactly in software is actually causing the problem it'd be a start...

(the camera hardware is fine; using Knips, the camera image flips as it should)

Just for the record, I had no such issues prior to Diablo so I am sorry that I can't help anyone.
Re the removing and replacing battery fix, I do that every day (my batteries are charged externally) so that had no effect on my experience.
