Found the solution here, access is available to the engineering mode of (non-rooted) froyo streaks through the fastboot mode keypad, from there you can calibrate/zero the sensor.
When held on a flat surface my streak turns the screen upside down, it has to be raised almost vertical (in landscape) to make the screen turn the right way up. The bubble level app suggests that it thinks its at about 45 degrees when held flat.

Anyone know how to zero the accelerometer?
