I doubt that person (or most in this thread) was really interested in the iPhone to begin with - this is a Nokia based forum and the tags for this thread sorta explain the position of most.

The whole "you're holding it wrong" crowd... ahem. You might be holding your N900 wrong when you unplug. Mind you, I'm just showing a friendly reminder that the N900 also has a design flaw.

With that said, it just plain sucks that the consumer is the real loser here. iPhone users have to buy a case now, or hold it differently. N900 users have to shave down the micro USB teeth on the male connector or be careful when you disconnect.

Seriously... that's a lose-lose situation for all customers. Be careful how you hold vs. be careful when you disconnect.
