Micro USB Charging cable for Blade/OSF

[Guest garethp]

Just wanted to share my experience of trying to find a charge/sync cable that works.

I needed two spare cables for use at work and in the car. I ordered several from ebay and Amazon from generic ones to a "geniune nokia ca-101", but none of them would charge my blade. The screen would indicate that it was charging, but the percentage never increased even after several hours on charge.

I saw some in Poundland sold as a Blackberry charging lead and thought I would give them a go, and believe it or not they work perfectly - they work as a data lead and charger lead. I think they are slightly shorter than the ZTE one which is ideal for me.

So if you are like me trying to find a compatible cable, I strongly recommend the Poundland ones. Brilliant :)

I've always overlooked those thinking they were different connections. Good job im popping into town tomorrow will pick a few up.

Hi GarethP,

Aye, they are a good cable, and glad you shared this info.... I spotted these a while ago in a PoundLand or 99p..... and yes they work brillantly.... or in my case, BETTER than the original.

My original cable (well, not original... as that died ages ago... However I got a replacement) however that started to wobble all over the place, even though it still worked, it was rather loose inside. Where as this one, is a firm fit and does not move about. I purchased about 4x of these for myself, and other family members who have the same phone ;) :)

Cheers, Lister
