Ridiculous iPhone style video playback? Recording in widescreen, plays back the video sideways.

OK, this is really, really annoying.

Recording a video like any decent phone or camera by turning the phone on it's side to utilise the widescreen then downloading the mp4 file to playback on the computer gets a stupid long video playing back sideways, like those stupid iPhone users.

The default video playback should be widescreen or 4:3 not TALL and thin.

This is a deal breaker for me, this is a basic camera function ever since the N70 and should be working properly.

BTW where are the camera settings please?

PS the sound is still choppy as it previously was in 2.0.1 (or whatever it was, I'm not reading the entire forum to piece together how long this has been broken)

Recording a When Settings->Display->Orientation=Portrait, video like any decent phone or camera by turning recording happens in portrait even if the phone is physically positioned in landscape.
