there are no inexpensive extUSB cables...i don't know where you are but try expansys or amazon in your country...they're all upwards of $20

This http://www.ebay.com/itm/360396058198?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 works well with a dinosaur of an old HTC phone. I was hoping to find ExtUSB with a micro vs mini end but didn't on eBay, hence my question. However this is indeed a generic, inexpensive ExtUSB cable :rolleyes: even if the "works with HTC" bit is misleading somewhat. How many years since HTC used mini vs micro connections?

I would not recommend any usb cables for charging from eBay, they're data capable, if that, but is not strong enough for charging, I had one from cousin and while my MT4G when I had it actually lost power while using the cable to charge... Spend the few extra bucks for a nice one, and it'll charge faster (depending on conditions). Take notice to the quality of the ones HTC provides; heavy duty construction!
