3rd party data cables?

[Guest CKwik240]

Hi everyone. First post here though, I've been lurking and using the site to find info. Great stuff!

In any case, I have a Samsung Omnia through Verizon. I'm looking for a retractable data cable for it. I actually picked one up that is made by Cellet, but it turns out it needs its own driver which is neither supplied with it nor available online as far as I can tell (what the hell was the point of selling such a cable if noone can use it?). And even if it did require a driver, it would limit its use to computers that its already installed on.

I am looking for one that simply connects like the OE cable. It needs to be capable of syncing and tethering, but more specifically, I'd like to be able to also have it install itself onto any computer by just plugging it in as I'd like to be able to use it in place of my thumbdrive(simple access to the storage card).

So anyone have any suggestions?

TIA

Did you find the setting that tells it to behave like a USB Drive? In the Omnia (i910 here) "settings", "connections" tab "USB Connection Mode" you can set the device to behave as a thumb drive and have access to installed cards, but not the internal memory. You have to shuffle things from one to the other when doing this. I do it all the time.

Yes. It doesn't recognize the device at all with this Cellnet cable.
