Iphone display does not go into landscape mode

I got my new Iphone about two months ago. Previously, I had a 3G that got stolen, so I upgraded to the 3GS when i got my new phone. Since I took it out of the box, my display will not go into landscape mode no matter how long I wait. I have reset it many times and all my software is up to date. Any ideas?

iPhone OS 3.1.3

Make an appointment at the Genius Bar.

If it is defective, then they will replace it.

Download an App called Checkup

It tests the accelerometer in the device.

You do realise that not all screen rotate don't you ? Like the icon pages don't rotate..... ?

Only some apps use landscape, the homescreen not being one of them. See p. 31 of the manual... http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPhone_UserGuide.pdf

Hahaha yeah I do know that not all the screens rotate thanks! Like I said I had an iphone previously that did work. I tried the checkup app and it isn't registering anything at all. I guess that's a sign to take it to the genius bar haha
