USB port on wrong side of charger

For whatever reason the USB port on the charger is on the bottom side. By bottom I mean the side with all the CE markings etc, which for aesthetic reasons you would not want to have on the top when plugged in. Having the port on that side, and with the CE markings on the bottom, means that it is quite awkward to plug in the cable. The easiest, of course, would be to have the port on the end, instead of the side.

Overall the charger is quite an ugly piece of hardware, unlike the beautiful white round Nokia charger.

(For clarification: note this is not the same as the report about the USB symbol being on the wrong side of the cable, which has been reported elsewhere)

The easiest, easiest from a usability point of view, of course, would be to have the port on the end, instead of the side.side. However just flipping the port to the other side would also improve usability.
