Why was Mini USB deprecated in favor of Micro USB?
I only ever had one mini USB cord go bad, and that was a minor pain. But I have had the micro USB <i>port</i> on a cell phone become unreliable, which is insanely frustrating. The post holding the contacts no longer wants to push them against the cord, so it frequently loses the connection.<p>I can solve the problem temporarily by pushing the post back with a small screw driver, but "temporarily" here is measured in minutes or hours.
