Question [Q] 90Deg bend Micro USB Cable?

Just orderded my Sensation and wondered if anyone knew of a micro USB plug for the handset that had a 90 deg bend in it? THis would mean when in my car mount the charging cable did not stick out so far but run down alongside the handset.

I am keen not to use an adaptor but have a continuous cable to the car charger.

Default RE: [Q] 90Deg bend Micro USB Cable?

I know you said you did not want to use an adapter, but I ended up going with the following b/c it was cheap and works perfectly:

Motorola Micro USB Right Angle Adapter skn6258 from Cellfreeks.

It's small and clicks in nice and snugly and all the right angle cords I could find had the angle going the wrong direction with the cable running toward the top of the phone. Hope this helps

I had 2 of them I had for my BlackBerry a while ago. I kept them and now use them for the sensation. They're not the best, but they do work pretty well.

Thanks - I will order one of them and see how it goes. My preference is certainly for one long cable without the adapter to avoid bulk. In case any UK based people want one I found the mentioned Motorola adaptor here: http://www.fommy.co.uk/view-full-pag...ad&skuno=82311 at £4.49

Tony - I know my reply is a little late, but I have purchased this type of Micro USB cable on Amazon. Search for Micro USB Angle and you will get plenty of hits. startech.com makes a good one in three different cable lengths, both right angle and left angle.
UUSBHAUB1RA - 1 Foot Right Angle
UUSBHAUB3RA - 3 Foot Right Angle
UUSBHAUB6RA - 6 Foot Right Angle
UUSBHAUB1LA - 1 Foot Left Angle
UUSBHAUB3LA - 3 Foot Left Angle
UUSBHAUB6LA - 6 Foot Left Angle

Thanks Vegasjoe, I ordered one of these from an E-bay seller. Should keep the cable alongside the hadset when mounted in the windscreen holder - that will look tidier than the current cable sticking out at 90deg to the handset.
