So.. how is this supposed to work. There's a phone, with its main
camera. It is designed to be used in both portrait and landscape
modes, internal accelerometr can tell between the two.

Plus you have phone with a keyboard. Common usage is portrait with
keyboard closed, and landscape with keyboard open...

And yes, there's linux with v4l2 working on Nokia N900.

Best regards,
