This is the flash cable converted to data cable:
Unlike the DRS-10/11 this cable doesn't allow you to plug in the charger. I was wondering if it is safe to graft a 5VDC source into pins 10 and 11? This way charging can happen.
Maybe the 5VDC souce can be the USB port? What do you think?

To convert follow the instructions here:

BTW, I've already grafted a 5V souce into the above plug. I'm using it right now.

chorb, the USB port allows devices to draw power directly from the port.
I have a USB phone charger, but I haven't seen a USB data cable for my phone yet. Where were you able to buy it? |

No idea how to implement a USB cable....
BTW my 5VDC souce is the charger. I just spliced that plug into the cable. As a bonus my Ericsson charger can now charge even Nokias
