Problems with the landscape orientation of the keyboard

I just got my Droid Eris. It was working fine to go back and forth between landscape and upright, until I calibrated the G-sensor. Now I'm not sure what's going on. I'm not sure if I've done the calibration correctly (I assume you just sit it upright on a flat surface?) or what. It will randomly go into landscape mode, but then I can't get it back upright unless I go to the home screen. Any suggestions? Thanks :)

Lay it on its back(camera side down) on a level flat surface. That should work for you.

Ah thank you! I feel silly now but I'm glad it's resolved! :)
I did one worse when I got mine... I realized I messed up the calibration by standing it on its end to calibrate... so I stood it on its side.

Brilliant, I know... At least I never tried setting it on its face - although, now that I think about it, that might actually have worked.
