I am looking for a data cable for the F500i, since infrared would be very slow. I want to be able to BOTH upload and download data such as images, videos, games, contacts etc from my phone & PC. I first was going to go for the official Sony USB DCU-11 cable, but one site said that it can ONLY send data from the PC to the phone, and not the phone to the PC. Is this correct? If so, what cable would you recommend for speed, price, ease of use, etc? I found this product but it does not say whether it's also possible to upload pictures & videos taken with the phone, to the PC, and to download applications and games on the PC to the phone: http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/product/1082.htm maybe someone else may be able to help?

Personally, I feel you'd be able to move the data both ways. Although it doesn't say this specifically, it does say "for moving data between your phone and a PC". To me, the word "between" suggests in both directions.

yeh, that's what I assumed till I saw the text on mobilefly.com :

Please note that this cable only allows you to transfer data from PC to phone, and not phone to PC. To transfer data from phone to PC, you would need an Infra-Red or Bluetooth adapter, depending on availability of an Infra-red port or Bluetooth connectivity on your phone.


Is there anyone who's actually got one who'd be able to confirm?
