The original USB and micro-USB connectors are seen at times a frustrating to plug in when compared to other cable connections. But hey you got a 50/50 shot right?
Good news is that they are getting ready to release the next generation connection that is universal so you can plug in either way and it will work. Also supposed to be a little thinner so it means there will also be more USB support for netbooks and tablets in the near future. They are now ready for production, all we need are manufacturers to start adopting them.
