The iPhone's browser disables the auto-rotation when you have the keyboard out, for whatever reason. I think this is the cause that the iphone that you tested were locked in a single orientation.

Try as I might, I can't make my iPhone (3gs) to 'lock' the browser even when rotating it very very slowly near horizontal position, with the keyboard hidden.
