Rant: Nokia's New Charging Pin

Enough pondering, its time for a rant!

WTF is wrong with Nokia? Why would they change their tried and true charging pin for this rinky-dink shit hole of a charging pin?

You know how many charger extension dodads I've broken over the last year? 6!!!

You know how much my local phone shop charges for another one of those dodads? $10.00!!!

They bend, they break, you can't plug them in without looking, and well, they just suck.

On top of the annoyance these things cause me, they have also severely damaged my phone.

When I first got my phone, and proceeded to bend the shitty little pin within about a week, I kept using it, because, well, it still worked.

After about 3 months of using a bent charger, what do you know, it ripped the phone's internal pin out!

This little annoyance turned my "multimedia computer" into a $500.00 brick. I had no way to charge my phone once it broke internally

Further, because my phone (a Nokia N70) is a European model, and never sold in the USA, I did not have the manufacturers warranty to fall back on.

So, I had to take it to the corner phone dude, where he proceeded to charge me $80.00 to open the phone and solder on the part that had broke.

I said all that to say this... Why did you, Nokia, change the beautiful, fat, bulletproof charging pin you used to use?

Kindest Regards,
Mike
