    Videos don't utilize the whole square screen? Anyone have screen shot?

    Really. And this is a surprise. I watch youtube videos all the time. I knew buying the phone that a 1:1 screen would letterbox a video. Doesn't bother me. Video is almost as big as a ip5 turned in landscape. I know as I compared one. Great thing is I don't need to turn my phone all time which is what bothered me most about the slab phones.

    Even a die hard iphone user friend said the videos looked good on the passport when comparing to his ip5

    That's good to know. I'll have to check it out on my wife's ip5.

    You can do it using FastTube, but I suggest you don't. Almost every video is 16:9, you'd be missing a lot of content.

    Another one of these threads?

    The screen is square. Video....isn't.

    Basic geometry dictates the 3 possible outcomes:

    1: Include all video leaving blank space on top an bottom.
    2: zoom video out to fill screen top to bottom but cut off the sides of video.
    3: stretch the video vertically to fill the screen but make it a fun house mirror effect.

    Any Q10 / 9900 etc user would have the same issues.
