Why does everybody seem to think this is some proprietary port that Nokia pulled out of their ***? It's not, it's MicroUSB

we all know what it is..




but is it widely used ? no

is it a significant upgrade over mini-usb ? no

is it practical ? no

it's just another foquing cable we have to carry along with the miniSD adapter ....

and I won't buy the technological advance point; how useful an hydrogen car is if you can't refuel it anywhere.

the n810 is about to be phased out and the microUSB cable is still not widely used... Should I wait another 2 years to enjoy the choice made by Nokia in 2007 ?
