Hia all,
does any of you chaps know if there exists a USB datacable which charges the battery at the mean time? Doe they all do it?
Thank you.

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?

f**k sake if i had known that i wouldnt have just went out and bought a cheap serial cable. Im downloading the software that comes with it. do you think ill be able to charge my phone with the serial cable?

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 it possible to use my serial data cable with my pc and make calls and listen to them through my computers speakers and use the pc's microphone?

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?
Posted by Chad03
Bump!
Posted by T68iKING
Yeah it chargers and gives you the ability to send themes, screensavers, imelodys etc to your phone. Its ok, you have to download a sendfile programme, to send themes etc. I bought it, got all ringtones etc i wanted and gave it back. Now have unlimited download (over 3kb on t-mobile) on wap, and have free wap, so need for cable.

Where can I order this cable online?

The cable comes with any soft ware you need on a cd-rom. it charges the phone at the same time wich is bad if you are on the move with a laptop as it drains the batt. you can get it in most cellfone shops and of course the ericsson/sonyericsson web sites
