Mini-B USB port - 4-pin or 5-pin?

What type of mini-B port does the Ideos have? I want to buy an additional cable to keep it charged at work, but don't know which type (4- or 5-pin? Are there others?)

I believe its 5 pin. Looking into the charger you can see 5 contact points so i assume its 5 pin, i could be wrong.

Trick question; it's not mini-B! I just bought a mini-B (5-pin) and it doesn't fit :/ Anyone know the actual variant?

It is a micro-USB, not a mini. Check out "Universal Serial Bus" in Wikipedia.

Have a look here for a really good explanation and illustrations of the USB connectors:
All common USB connectors

The connector in the U8150 is a Micro USB B and there are 5 contacts inside it. Neil.
