A Flickr staff member also confirmed what you said, i.e. that the data is stripped when the resize is done before emailing. I might have a play with the photo settings to take photos at a size that the phone doesn't want to resize, but that'll mean I'll lose quality. Ironically the phone has a Blog This function that emails the photo to a Blogger blog WITHOUT resizing. But I want to use Flickr, not Blogger. I guess there's not much I can do for now...

There's no way around it other than not emailing it from the phone. Rob. From what I understand, Sony Ericsson (among others) phones strip exif data when they resize photos for emailing.
