yes I agree it's a really weird idea to place it on the side but there are some examples where it's better on the side. I find it much harder to find the fastport in the dark in order to plug it into my desktop charger (a docking station had to modify with a cutter to fit the W910) at night when I lean over with one hand to stick the phone on charge. If I get up and out of bed and use 2 hands it's easy, but it's almost impossible to feel for the fastport one handed (you need two hands on the phone to feel for the position).
I also find it more difficult to retrieve from a pocket than those with the fastport on the bottom.
However it's easier to connect to the dcu-60 (that comes up the back of the desk from my pc) and still have the phone upright and it sits better in my pocket (when I don't have to pull it out) because the phone usually lies horizontal in my pocket - with the fast port on the side it means less pressure put on the fasport connection. It means not having to reach into my pocket all the time to move the phone to horizontal so it doesn't knock the fastport of or kloosen the connection (as happened with my K800)
tbh, I find either way has equal disadvantages and advantages so I just live with it either way.

WHEY!!!!! finaly after 11 months my fastport connector is packed in. One hour it was fine and now... it only makes a connection if i push the connector down. had to hold it there for an hour like every 2 days.
So yey. my w910i is now all but redundant since i cant use it for music, charging the damn thing wastes an hour of my life... grrrrr |

Did you try cleaning the contacts? I give my fastports a clean with cotton bud and isopropyl alcohol (NOT metho or other alcohols; it will eat your plastic) and I never have problems with my fastports (even my K750 still works fine)

I wish they'd either make it a 3.5mm jack or make the fastport slimmer like even half the size would be great. My only gripe with it is that it catches when I take it out of the case. |

Pics of the T700 fast port & the LG ViewTY universal port
Now the jacks
The fastport is more flexible, allowing you to use your headset or usb cables even while the T700 is being recharged. But the universal port is more sturdy(no pins to break) though it restricts you to one cable connector at a time.
