usb symbol on charger [not relevant]
I noticed that other than the quasi industry standard, on the stock charger usb cable, the usb symbol is on the bottom of the connector. Is there a special reason to it? #unlike

I second that, it is really silly :-( It's difficult enough to attach a microUSB cable, and now I cannot even rely on the USB symbol anymore...

ShadowJK ( 2013-12-28 16:06:09 +0200 )editI bought a thinner replacement cable anyway, as I felt that the original was thick and cumbersome, and I feared for the USB port.
jsiren ( 2013-12-28 20:00:46 +0200 )editI was about to ask the same question.
The USB symbol being on the wrong side of the connector is confusing.
I checked on "Icon design recommendation for Identifying USB 2.0 Ports on PCs, Hosts and Hubs", available on http://www.usb.org/, and it says the USB symbol "should be placed such that it is likely to be seen by a user viewing the PC or host port from normal vantage points, given typical use-environments and conditions."
It's not critical, but Jolla should ship better cables.
