In addition to the above comments, many if not most "widescreen" computer monitors that are sold, and some LCD TVs as well, have an aspect ratio of 1.6 (e.g. 1680 x 1050) or 1.67 (e.g. 1280 x 768). What these screens are doing is giving you extra vertical pixels, but still providing a close match to the "standard" HDTV widescreen ratio of 1.78.

So there is no "standard" LCD widescreen. Whether 1.5 qualifies as "widescreen" or not is a semantic question, but it's wrong to call Apple deceptive on this count. I find that the iPhone resolution is a great compromise, allowing useful applications in both portrait and landscape mode.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm in the market for a new phone and money isn't a limitation. I'm also not partial to any particular US carrier, but here are some of the features I'd like to have: WiFi, GPS, good coverage in lots of places, push Gmail (a must!), physical keyboard (a must!), a touchscreen, decent battery life and a relatively slim body. And please, nothing that has a fruit logo on it. No offense to the fruit fans, though. Thanks!"
