Well, if you are going to have a physical keyboard then why not have it be touch sensitive? Some people prefer physical buttons that can be felt and provide individual haptic feedback when pressed, so they get a physical keyboard which they can also use for gestures. Seems like a pretty good idea.

When the last Palm Treo came out the resolution was 320 × 320 and The Dark Knight was in theaters. That is hardly recent memory. Go back to the 2003 era of blackberries and you have square screen resolutions as well. Go back further to their pagers and they had the same. Lots of early displays had square screens. The point is all high resolution modern smartphones do not.

The square screen isn't the only innovation, the keyboard is also touch sensitive (ie, you pass your fingers over the keys without pressing down), allowing the use of gestures and scrolling through content without touching the screen and getting it dirty or obscuring the display with your fingers.

"Now the FCC regulates what can and cannot be said on the radio." Incorrect. The people do. Sadly the only peple who seem to make an effort are those that want to force there[sic] crap down our throats.

The people most certainly do not, the FCC does. The FCC commissioners are not elected, so you cannot even make the argument that the people are in control through representative government.

Honestly, have you contacted the FCC? Did you inform them of your feelings about what happened?

The FCC is restricting free speech and your argument is that I should write a strongly worded letter to unelected officials of an illegitimate organization that is acting extraconstitutionally. Let me know how that worked out (spoiler: it didn't).

You have more power with a government body then you will ever have with a corporation.

This is just irrational absolutism, and incorrect. In certain respects an organized populace has more power over government bodies. However the people make decisions on what a company does through their shareholders, the board of directors, the press, direct pressure, and litigation. All the while its getting more and more difficult to sue government. If the news about Comcast's torrent killing gets some bad press or gets sued for it, it will impact stock prices which could in itself lead to a policy change without you doing anything.

If I have a problem with my street, it gets taken care of quickly. The one time we had a problem it was fixed 4 hours later.

Yet for over 30 years the FCC still hasn't been "fixed", but in the meantime private satellite radio, cable and satellite tv have appeared and allow more freedom of speech and expression.

Also you cannot equate local government with federal government. Everyone has a bigger voice the smaller and more local the government is. The same could be said with corporations.

And if the charged the 800 number ANYWAYS?

This sentence is incoherent.
