AWESOME! Now Ill just try to understand why this took so long, why MicroUSB when MiniUSB is so much more prevalent, or for that matter why not HTC's 11 Pin ExtUSB supporting data and voice. Now Im not saying I would do it, but one day someones gonna get really upset at the fact that consumers just keep getting the shaft.... and do something about it. I mean doesn't any company actually care to listen to its bosses (that would be us)? In the great words of Frank Costanza...... SERENTIY NOW!!!!!!
Micro USB is smaller and thinner than Mini USB. As you can see cellphones are getting smaller and having a Mini USB as its main power connector will limit the manufacture to certain measurements which may be larger than what they intend.
@Ahmed Eltawil while this may be a very valid point, I would imagine the next obvious step for mobiles would be OLED's. That being the case mini vs. micro wouldn't make a difference. If the manufacturer intends on making it smaller, neither would be a solution. Besides I cant foresee in the near future any batter thinner than a mini USB connector.

I'm surprised they went with Micro over Mini as well.
