We just wanted connectivity between the LG shine and our PC via USB. Should've been simple. However, our wireless company wanted $30.00 for a USB cable. I knew there was a better way.

The cable worked right out of the box. The trick here is you need to change your USB connection settings on your phone if you want to transfer mp3 or picture files. On the LG Shine, we changed it to "Mass Storage" and then our PC treated the phone just like an external drive.

3.0 out of 5 stars One Major Flaw..., August 4, 2009

Okay, so I have an LG Shine. And on that LG Shine I have about, oh lets say, 500 photos. So, I tried to be smart and read all of the reviews of the usb cable on this website. I waited about 3 days until it got here; very fast shipping in my book. It was easy to install. I can't tell you how many times I've bought things and them be hard to set up/install. I really like how you can transfer music and photos from your memory card.

But that's part of the major flaw...

It only transfers from your memory card. I received the memory card yesterday (which works just wonderfully!), so I was in good shape. But when I went to transfer the files about thirty minutes ago, I thought it was going to transfer *everything* to my computer. You can't even fathom how disappointed I was when I just saw the ten pictures from my memory card instead of the 500+ pics from my phone itself (before I got the memory card).

So, my big advice? If you're looking for a usb cable to transfer files from your memory card AND phone, don't buy this. However, if you already have most of your pictures saved on your memory card (unlike me), go ahead and buy it. It does a great job of transferring.

Overall, it's very nice. Easy installion, fast transfer, charges your phone as it's plugged into your computer. I just really wish it transferred my countless number of photos on my phone's memory.

My cable came with software (even though the product description explicitly states that it does not come with software), but I did not install it. Without the software, the phone shows up as a USB Mass Storage Device, and that's all I need anyway.

The cable itself works great. It's a little stiff to plug into and unplug from your phone at first, but it seems to be loosening up (which is a good thing at the moment). An added bonus is that it will also charge your phone's battery as long as it's plugged in, which if anything, makes this a really cheap and convenient charger.
