...AND WHY DID THEY PUT THE EARPHONE PLUG OVER THE VOLUME CONTROLS????? AND WHY ARE THEY ALL ON THE SAME SIDE?!?!?!?! holy crap i didn't think it would be so annoying but the curve had it perfect... and with such crappy battery life i have to have this damn thing plugged in all the time. its annoying me enough that i'm ready to get the 8530 (assuming its not set up the same way)
maybe the tour2 is takign so long cause they are changing everything around
I have never used the audio jack.. have bluetooth in car and bluetooth stereo headphones too with mic... My battery almost always makes it through the day and sometimes a whole weekend..

I don't like where the charging port is either. From time to time I'll play around with my phone when I'm laying in bed, and with it plugged in it does make it hard to type.
It's not enought to make me hate my Tour though, just a minor inconvenience with an otherwise excellent device. IMO it's the nicest looking BB on the market today.
Actually, if ya kinda split your pinky and ring finger around the usb when it's plugged it, it's not so bad. A little uncomfortable for anything lengthy, but it works short term.
I hate the Fact that EVERy time i talk on it. my PALM cups the charger Port.. and is getting Moisture all over it.... and Yes it would be NICe to be able to Charge and Text... Even Charge and Talk with out Bending the Charger Port.

YAY!!!!!!!!!!! Actually, I liked the 8830 position better since I have to take my Tour out of its Otterbox holster to reach the charging port - I did not have to do that with the 8830.
I have had no problem with charging my tour with the otterbox on it. But now that you have said that I'm wondering if I should take it off to charge also. My original blackberry (8830we) had to be replaced with a storm after I broke the charging port.
I agree totally. But im a bias person as i never had a play. I can voutch(SP?) that any charge input etc is shocking being placed on the side. My hands are massive for some freaky reason and when its charged i lose interest in texting lol.
I can leave the otterbox "shell" on but the HOLSTER section (belt clip) can't be on when charging. With the 8830, the port was upper left and the HOLSTER did not interfere.
