Thats why I wait for BT (or WiFi) powered FIC phone. > I also not so happy about the Mini-B female jack - I would > prefer a normal USB female jack that you could pluck in > normal USBmenory sticks/adapters in. Two of my Zauri has Mini-A socket for special 'USB Host' cable. Cable is hard to get and costs 10 EUR. If FIC will go this way then they *need*, *REALLY NEED* to add one into box. > But how ever, would you be more happy with one propritary charger? > I don't think so - I think it is very cool that the device could be > charged via USB. I killed one USB port here by charging PDA. Ofcourse few other ports left, but what do to when you kill 5/6 of them? Using powered hub just to charge PDA/Phone looks silly for me. > > But I *do not* want to keep usb cable in my pocket. > What alternative would you propose? > A fix solderd male USB jack on the device? Probably will be no alternative to USB charging - but I hope that FIC will get some kind of control how much power to suck from port. > > Do you know how many types of Mini-B connector are in use? > You are right the high number of different USB cables are ugly > and unsmart. > But that the neo will be chargable via USB, I think, is still > much better than a propritary charger ;) If they will add cable and use *common* type of connector so it will be *easy* to buy another cable (one for home, one for work). > BTW I would like to see standard battery cells - maybe not AA/AAA > but someone that could be bought easily.
