I really love my Torch, but I'm wondering why they didn't put the little charging contacts on the bottom of the phone like previous models. I thought that was one of the cooler features of previous Blackberrys. I have the Torch charging pod, but it's just essentially a glorified plug, you can't just drop it in verticially like I could with my 9700.

It just works better docked in landscape mode, and charging contacts would be awkward on only one side of the phone. The Storms are the same way.

Yeah but it's pretty much the same form/size as the 9700, so why not just put the contacts on the bottom?
