Damn it all. I have standardized on mini-USB across the board. All of my peripherals use this connector and I have more than enough chargers and mini-USB to USB cables to keep stuff charged. The one big advantage is being able to charge from my laptop when needed. Now I'm going to end up having micro-USB and mini-USB? This is BS.
My wife recently gave me a Motorola headset with micro-USB. I don't see the advantage of this port over mini-USB. It's about 1mm thiner. Thankfully they provide a converter, but I don't understand why OMTP doesn't stick with mini-USB. I have other devices which use mini-USB that aren't phone related and has been very convenient. PITA.
“An engineer explained to us that hundreds of ear impressions were gathered in the name of research, and while each one obviously boasted its own unique shape and size, one single characteristic remained uniform across the board: the entrance into the ear canal is not a perfect circle, it's an oval.”

With micro-USB, there's one last hurrah with buying yet another set of accessories. If you adopt mini-usb, the job is already half-done.
