But why "micro" USB? Is the "mini" (like n6300)USB really too big ? It's more common (cameras, mp3, etc.).

If there is something/device that allow people to charge their phone over the radio waves. They should be awarded with the highest award available. May be go to Heaven straight (God permit).

I would also suspect that by that time, most villages would have some form of net access either by a internet shop and prob surfing on via a sim card either on the phone or laptop/pc would be much more manageable in cost and speed-wise then..
and of course, economics always play a part in this.. 80-20 rules... 80% of income always comes from 20% of the population/geo areas..
makes sense? ;)

If you still can't tell the difference, suggest you go to a phone shop and ask the salesperson to get you some REAL phones and note the differences.

Everyone is playing catch-up again!
