As my SE's are normally not in use when charging I don't find the "fast port"
an issue. It's also useful in that you have a single connector type for all the
accessories instead of one port for data/charge another for the headphones ...
those who worry about dust getting inside the phone take note .....

Oh dear thats no surprise. One thing i can say about the fast port on Sony Ericsson phones at least they normally do fit in securely. Though sometimes you have to wriggle it around a bit till it starts charging

Well recently I’ve faced a terrible disaster with fast port on C902. Every time when I going to charge the phone, it gives me a real challenge; maximum time it doesn’t recognize the charger and same to the headphones. Connect to computer with DATA cable is only dream to me. This is my 14/15 number phone of SonyEricsson and as I remember with every phone I faced difficulty with this St*p*d port. I’m always using my phones carefully so this is not my using problem, after couple of months using headphones or frequently charging; it become loose.
I think they are using fast pot for marketing purpose. When you lose you headphone or charger then you must have to buy another one from them, you can’t get or use from others. Some other brands don’t think in this way and they do well even in now global economical crisis.
So end of the Story; I won’t ever ever ever ever buy any SonyEricsson with this port. I don’t care about miniusb or 3.5 jack but fast port in my life again; never. Example I spent $1000US on P990i and it gave same, this time I spent $600US on C902 and result is same. When we pay large amount money, we naturally expect quality but SonyEricsson nowadays failed to deliver that and this is the main reason to company’s present status on the market.

The Fastport is designed to be one port which does everything.
Compared to the Mini USB on my V800, it charges the phone when connected as a modem which means you dont have to sit next to a power socket when online. I wouldn't like a return to the bad old days.
3.5mm jacks just transfer sound, SE's Fastport allows many other functions to be operated from the headphone cable.
While I don't think
have any plans to change the Fastport - nor should they IMHO - there were calls at MWC this year to create a standardised charging port across all maunufacturers and Nokia, SE and others formed an agreement to work towards this by 2012.

Well, my previous solution was to charge my batteries externally, using the CBC-100, listen to my music through my DS205 and sync my phones with MyPhoneExplorer through bluetooth. This way, I almost never needed to use the fastport. However, with my new desktop, I've got some problems with the bluetooth connection with my phone getting disconnected and have resorted to using the data cable again. I would, of course, very much rather SE used a generic mini/micro USB connector and a 3.5mm audio jack, but there are definitely ways around it if we tried.
