sorry mate, i dont think it exists. ive never seen one around before. anyway you could get a cheap usb charger for about £6, which aint exactly gonna make your wallet sweat? although it would be a great idea if anybody else out there has spotted one. |

Jep, that thing exists, got one here. Bought it from www.myhandy.ch, but it's from http://www.matweb-01.com/
I paid around 80 swiss francs, and it comes complete with software to backup your contacts and send sms aso.

So you would need software to use the cable as a charger? I'm planning to use it in my car : I have a cigarette-plug adaptor which gives me a USB-connection. I use that to charge my PDA - can I charge the phonebattery? Or is it only possible connected to computers with installed software? |

No, no! No software needed to charge! Simply plug it into the USB plug, and go 4 it. The software is only to backup the phone or change settings.
And: No, no charging with serial-cable. Charging has nothing to do with software...

Is this the same cable? So if I get this, I will be able to charge my phone very quickly, and be able to send wallpapers/themes to my T68i from my PC?
