No worries - it's just a standard cable.

DONATE TO ME
I've used 3 non-HTC cables and my Touch works fine. One was even an unofficial PSP cable.

Go nuts and use any USB cable you can find. I have never had any problems in the last year. As a matter of fact. I don't even remember which USB was the one that came with my device.

I have used non HTC cables from eBay, but a couple of them recently stopped working (wouldn't allow ActiveSync). The cable that came with the phone seems to be better quality.

The USB standard is universal, any USB cable will work without damaging the device, as long as the heads match.

Ehm... No, you should use the one, that came with the Elf. Others do not fit in the spot, but still will work.
