Accessories MicroUSB port in a horrible spot!, Right angled plug...

[brichi]

Hey guys, I feel like the slot on the side for charging is in the worst spot ever, especially if you want to use the phone while plugged in. I did find however a right angle MicroUSB plug that you can order (I already ordered one) so it makes it a little easier to handle when charging. Hope this helps others out that think the same

yikes...10 bucks

I think it was placed there to make the cord less annoying when the phone is in landscape mode in a car mount for navigation, or (hopefully) for a horizontal docking solution, but I see what you mean. Thanks for the post.

I am hoping that cable when plugged in is the right direction so the cable goes towards the bottom, looks like it is

there are alot of new phones with charging port on side. Storm and BB Storm are my two most recent to have it but after those two i am used to it by now. i will say that when i first got the Storm i was so irritated.

Never thought of that, good point. I don't use it in landscape mode, but i can see it coming in handy for google navigation or for watching movies while you drive. Err wait nevermind the watching and driving part

guys, obviously keep in mind you can get the cables from a lot of places, the point was to let people know the cable exists, obviously search around and find the cheapest place

Let us look at the positive here. HTC was placing the USB on the bottom, but it was also the headphone jack... I will take a right angle usb and a 3.5mm jack any-day

i am pretty sure when plugged in that cable will face up

Does it qualify for super saving shipping? Just bundle it if need be.

Yeah, I meant to quote you and LuckyAndroid, since the first one wasn't sold by Amazon and the second one qualifies for FSS.

Monoprice had it cheap...it was no right angle usb but for 3bux, I jumped in. Alas, it was out of stock so I just cancelled.
