I just found an other solution to the problem. I use the body onload function with the onDeviceReady function from phonegap.js to check the orientations:

The following javascript code works properly now:

    function onLoad() {
        document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false);
    }

    function onDeviceReady() {
        document.addEventListener("orientationChanged", updateOrientation);
    }

    function updateOrientation(e) {
        switch (e.orientation) {
            case 90:
                window.location = "index_landscape.html";
                break;
            case -90:
                window.location = "index_landscape.html";
                break;
        }
    }

UPDATE: This worked more than two years ago with old versions of Phonegap and iOS SDK, but according some users, it doesn't work anymore.
