not sure why people insist on depending on gyrating programs to switch the screens orientation when there is a simple reg edit that allows you to manually assign a long press key to flip it on command.

Question, for what reason did you arrange to switch out the phone this weekend?

BC some ppl like it to flip on its own because it is meant and designed to do that. No one wants to press a key to force it to flip. Now thats retarded unless your internal hardware is broken.

What is the reg edit that allows you to assign the long press for rotation? I searched but couldn't find it. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Enable Manual Screen Rotation (Portrait/Landscape):

HKLM - System - GDI - Rotation - HideOrientationUI (change from 1 to 0)

Change is immeditate effectively. No Reboot is required

You now have an Orientation Option and graphic in the Align the Screen "screen" (lol)

also, you can enable long press send key to Flip the screens orientation. Works flawlessly.

works and it reduces the number of installed cabs on your phone

I have posted this several time.. no idea why it doesn't show. maybe this time. The G-sensor had failed. I learned before swapping out that a coworker was messing with it while I was away freeing "hostages."
I have the new one.. everything is loaded back on.. just waiting on the high cap MicroSD to arrive to finish it off!

It's a built in function of Windows Mobile 6.1 that was locked out.

Also your argument is stale, where in the specifications does it say the phone was designed to flip its orientation all the time? ::shrugs::

Also it appears the OP's hardware was broken after all, so =D>
