Or always take Facebook pics in landscape orientation, with the physical buttons on the right. (If on the left, you'd end up uploading an upside down image.)
I can't see where you're talking about on the mobile site to rotate....I can only find the rotate buttons when I view the full site....too bad this doesn't auto rotate when you upload a portrait pic!
