Photo orientation question

Maybe this was dealt with already on the TP1, but on the Mogul, you had to make a registry change so you wouldn't always have the photos 90 degrees off if you always took photos with the phone in landscape orientation (which was more natural). Does the G-sensor automatically orient the photo on the TP1 & 2, no matter whether you take the photo in portrait or landscape?

hmmm.. first, you can just take it, hit edit,and there a rotate option...

in "album" the gsensor is on and the screen auto rotates for viewing, here u can just slide your finger to rotate and even zoom in and out of the pic-all with finger gesture

hows that?? thats all TP1 stuff, i imagine its the same on TP2, since its the same "pics and vids" and "album" apps found in winMo

If I remember correctly, that's what the g-sensor was for.

I understand that for viewing, the G-Sensor would do that. So would sliding out the keyboard even on the Mogul. But there is still a "set" orientation on the Mogul, which comes into effect if you email the photo to someone. If you took the photo holding the phone in landscape, and hadn't done the hack, and didn't rotate and re-save it, it would arrive in someone's email 90 degrees rotated. Hence the hack. But then you would be 90 degrees rotated the other way if you ended up taking a photo with the phone held in portrait mode.

So I'm wondering if the G-Sensor makes the photo get taken and saved upright, regardless of which way you hold it when taking the photo. Again, which way it is SAVED, not the fact that the G-Sensor makes it APPEAR upright, because that does no good when you email it to a desktop.
