Looks like we all need to get adapters. It's also a shame they're not bundled within.

maybe at the top? (like iPhone)

[decksy]

did you not go to the link? needs an adapter

[jpevear]

I was going to say that sucks royally but at least there's an adapter.

This really sucks though. I had to use an adapter with my other HTC phones, so I really expected it, but it is so much more convenient to not have to carry around an adapter. Especially because there is no A2DP.

I have to admit, I'm pretty freakin stoked about this phone and can't wait for it to get here. But sheesh, how many stinkin USB cables do I need in my house? Why can't everyone just put a regular USB connector on their device and call it a day? You know this had to cost them more money to do it this way. I wonder what their thought process and business case was? Sell more adapters??? This is just D-U-M-B dumb.

I agree with the poster above me! Why use an propriety usb to make people have unnecessary usb cables when there is a USB standard. Pretty lame to use something that is only used on HTC phones only.

[MrAndroidson]

yea, i agree... It's extra dumb once you find out that those adapters cost a couple bucks. It really should've:

A. been built in.
B. if not built in, at least bundled with the phone. If their intentions really are to compete with iphone, on some level.

[MrGibbage]

Yeah, this is directly out of the Apple playbook. All of the ipods are USB but use a special cable. How sad and senseless.

wait so is it like smaller than a normal headphone jack? If so would my adapter from my nokia 5300 work on it?
