does anyone have one of these? Really need one, and don't want to spend $texas for one

Not to be confused with mini-usb, what I need is micro-usb. Here is a pic of exactly what I'm looking for: http://images.gizmag.com/hero/12108_30060915257.jpg


Edit: Also, its a pretty common cellphone adapter, but I need to connect to a usb port on a computer for data-use, not a wall-wort for just charging.

You tryin' to mock me boy?

Well I know about monoprice, but I didn't want to wait for it to ship, thought someone might have one lying around from an old cell phone they don't use anymore

I may have an extra laying around... I'm not sure. I'll check when I get home.

i picked up 4 of these a couple of months ago: http://cgi.ebay.com/180557554374

it doesn't really help you right now since i can't part with any of them (they allow me to use my old motorola razr chargers, as well as all of my mini-usb cables, for my newer motorola phone), but someone might find it useful

Lol "too long for data"? WTH are you talking about?

10/6/2010 4:21:26 PM

When the length of a usb cable becomes too long, the signal is no longer reliably transmitted. While usually the limit is longer than 5 feet, the reviews on these particular cables from meritline were sad at best. The gauge of wire was too small and they didn't work at that length reliably. Probably why they were on sale.

Even half decent cables well over 5' work just fine. If a cable doesn't work, it's just poor construction, not the length. That said, I have several cheap 6' and 8' USB cables that work just fine.
