I feel kinda dumb, but I can't figure out what you guys are talking about, I'm rotating my n800 this way and that, and I don't notice anything change... Could anyone put up a quick picture of what they're talkking about?

Rotate the camera, not the n800.

no, its cooler to rotate the n800... so that the top is down and the bottom is up.. your picture on the screen is still right side up.. its neat to watch as you turn it around

It would be nice to have a mirror view option. Or even make it the default when the camera is facing the user.
Not to flip what's sent, but so I don't go mad trying to get myself in the centre of the image. I expect nearly everyone can instinctively use a mirror, but this anti-mirror mode is a bit annoying.

), you'll look better, more centered and more natural (I hate those videocameras on top where everybody seems to be inspecting their privates).

this has nothing to do with sensors or switches right? this is just what would happen with any camera or camcorder I believe.
the difference is that the image is not like looking in a mirror, but is inverted. so when holding at 90 ° you see an upside down image rather than the same way up.
the only switch I know of is if you rotate the camera to point to the back of the n800 then you notice it cut out and back in again as it inverts the image to still show as the right way up on the screen.

A losely related one is Codman's (apparent) paradox, more generally the non-commutativity of 3D rotations, but I digress...
