What are people preference on those? I am not sure what is the norm, my S3 and 2G iPhone has it on the top of the device, my iPod Touch 4G has it at the bottom, and my understanding is that so does the iPhone 5. Not sure what the likes of HTC, Sony, Nokia etc. does.
Given the choice, I've gotten used to putting the phone upside down in the pocket, so headphone jack at the bottom works better in that sense. However I used to put my phone upside up so that lone isn't a deal-maker/breaker. But another thing it does affect, is the location of the volume control, which by necessity is always near the top of the phone. One thing I noticed with the S3, is that I frequently end up pressing the volume bottom when taking the phone out of my pocket. The problem is made worse because the volume button is too easily pressed down on the S3 (thinking back, the iPhone 2G didn't cause me any grief in this regard). On the other hand, while Googling the position of the headphone jack on the iPhone 5, I saw one person vocally protesting the move to the bottom on the basis that it makes it harder to adjust the volume on the go. Still, I'd rather deal with the inconvenience of having to put my hand deeper in my pocket to adjust the volume, than accidentally press the volume button when taking the phone out.
So, what's everyone's take on this?
