Re: I am right handed and the usb slot is on the wrong side
 

The device is totally backwards. The USB plug is on the top and the headphones are on the bottom. This is the opposite of every thing else on the market. Sometimes different is better. When it isn't, it is just plain irritating.

Re: I am right handed and the usb slot is on the wrong side
 

This is sth that I've been ranting about aswell. I'd really like to hear what was the designer thinking when he made this odd choice.

Another thing is the lock-lever whitch is totally at the wrong end aswell and it's actually useles since you can lock/unlock with powerswitch :D

Re: I am right handed and the usb slot is on the wrong side
 

either side is annoying to be honest. hard to type with earphone OR usb plugged in XD.

well in Nokia's defense, the old iPod Nano had the earphone jack at the bottom too haha

Re: I am right handed and the usb slot is on the wrong side
 

I'm left handed but it's still stupid to have the cable go UP when i talk and I'm charging rather than just down as it was on the n810.

Re: I am right handed and the usb slot is on the wrong side
 

I also find it stupid. I like to use hands- free but when you need to write sms it is impossible because headphone jack is sticking out.
Try to type sms or play game that require keyboard, while charging the phone and using hands-free.
That's F impossible. i think designers were F drunk or they are ******ed.
Ok if you did something like that give us bended usb plug-in and bended headphone jack.
I am trying to find some kind of bended connectors, nothing yet.

Re: I am right handed and the usb slot is on the wrong side
 

i know one way to have hands-free without any cords or connectors going to the device. so there is no need to whine about using hands free rendering texting impossible.


p.s. You haven't done any designing yourself, have you?

Re: I am right handed and the usb slot is on the wrong side
 

I guess I am the only one who likes this setup then. I'm currently writing this with USB plugged and I really like the fact cord goes outwards on the supporting hand side. Balancing is easy and the cord is not in the way of the moving right hand. I also think the lock slider is in perfect position for the same "support left use right" reason.

I agree that calling is stupid with USB plugged, though I often use the speaker if I have privacy.

Re: I am right handed and the usb slot is on the wrong side
 

You can't really do anything about it now.
You want them to change the USB port to the other side??

Also it's irritating for me to have the ear/head phone cable on the right rather than top (with the power button) making it extremely irritating when typing but seems reasonable for those putting the device in pocket.

Re: I am right handed and the usb slot is on the wrong side
 

Count me up as another one who likes the current setup. I like the unlock key on the right-hand side (right hand, because landscape mode is the primary mode for this device). The unlock button has to be dragged down, which is less accident prone (in a pocket) than if it was enough to just press the key on the top.

USB on the left hand side I have no problems with. The device is on the table almost all day, and using it as an actual phone is a tiny fraction of the day. So to optimize for the latter isn't much of a point, the way I see it. If the USB connector was moved to the other side then something there would have to move to the opposite side, and I don't want the unlock button on the left - I use it all the time, and USB only rarely. That the current USB location should be 'optimized' for left handers I don't agree with - it's the opposite: Used rarely, therefore on the left.
