Anyone know if the the HTC Wizard needs the 4-pin or the 5-pin USB Mini-B cable for syncing & charging from a PC?

I'm using my SONY camera's USB cable, and it has 5 pins visible inside. Dunno if it's using all 5, but there you go :)

Thank you very much. That's what I needed to know before I went out and bought some cables. :D

Yeah, it got 5 pins inside, for sure!

I have my original cable attached to my computer at work where I am right now, so it was easy to check :)

You can get a retractable USB-A to USB Mini 5-pin (the cable the Wizard needs) here:

I had one for my Treo and I still have all the attachments (wall plug and cigarette plug) so they will fit right into that.

I am not sure if the phone can take advantage of USB 2 so the second link might not be worth the money.
