^ I think you missed the point. You're thinking about the Electrical Plug end. They're talking about the PHONE end.

Also, many people have MiniUSB. This is MicroUSB. It's a major step forward since smaller USB plugs also mean smaller phones!

Currently almost every brand of phone has their own plug. They're about to convert so that EVERY phone starting in 2010 will take a MicroUSB plug.

So you're telling me that right now you can take a Nokia charger and plug a SE phone into it? How about a Samsung? Currently you'd need 3 different chargers.

Maybe I'm out of date, but I haven't seen any phones out there that use MicroUSB. The closest is Motorola, which uses MiniUSB.
