Hi all, I'm hoping someone can tell me where to get the original USB cable for the Z800i. The one that came in the box, NOT the DCU-11. When I bought my phone, the cable wasn't included (bought it off ebay, and the seller stated that there was no cable included) and it wasn't a big deal, as I had the charge station that connects to my computer. Now I'm on the road a fair bit and it would be really convenient to have that cable. I've checked the forums here, and on Howard Forums and no luck, (there have been previous posts but no straight answers). I've even called SE in the States, Canada and the UK. The North American service centers pointed me to xpansys and the dcu-11, and the UK center said it was just a standard 4-pin mini cable that I could get from any electronics shop. I have yet to find it anywhere, either online or at a brick-and-morter store. Even a part number from those of you who have the cable would be a good start. Please Help!!
-Cheers | |

Suggest to look in Sony Shops if there are any.

What's wrong with getting a DCU-11 then? |

I've checked the sony stores and the sony website (sonystyle.ca), with no luck. I would prefer the original wire because it is less bulky, and if I want to sell the phone it will be complete. Also, I believe that the original wire's throughput is faster than the DCU-11 (correct me if I'm wrong). If in the end I can't find the original wire, I may have to settle for the DCU-11.
Anybody have at lease a part number?

No, the DRS-10 looks like another version of the DCU-11, but with a serial cord rather than a USB. | |
