The screen changes orientation when you pull out the keyboard. It lacks all inertial sensing completely that the iPhone has built in.

Again just another of your false claims made about a device you have no first hand knowledge of. Do you think that maybe someone who has had one for many years might remember calibrating the “G-sensor” on more than one occasion? Which famous military commander said that It is what you think that you know that just isn't so that is the most dangerous? If you had actually done even the most cursory search using Google you would have found that there were many questions about how to calibrate the sensors... but you would rather call me a liar wouldn't you?

Are you saying the reviewers all had it wrong???? They all stated the screen switched to landscape mode when the keyboard was pulled out. . . Not one mentioned it automatically switched to landscape mode when turned to that position. Perhaps it was an oversight on their part?

You say you have to "calibrate" the G-sensor. . . but no one even mentions such a thing on line. The iPhone requires no such calibration. The compass occasionally does require one to wiggle it in a figure eight pattern for a few seconds to find true magnetic north, but not for positioning of any gravity orientation. Down is always down. I asked you about MOTION sensors. Not a G-sensor. . . but you did not bother to explain. LOL!

All this calibration and junk, just reminds me of all the things you don't have to do with any iPhone or Apple products.

Well, I did a search of PPC-6700 and G-sensor and what do you know. . . lots of hits on how to TURN auto rotation ON. . . looks as if it's a registry hack. No wonder the reviews didn't mention it. It was not turned on by default in the shipped version. Great. . . and it also had to be turned on for specific apps. Also great. It also looks as if the software to calibrate your vaulted G-sensor is not included. more greatness. Whoopee.
