This is a standard USB cable with a Type A plug on one end (for plugging into your computer or power pack) and Micro-B plug on the other end. Micro-B is a non-proprietary connector that is very small. As more phone manufacturers start using the Micro-B connector, you can start acquiring these cables knowing that it will be put to good use with your next phone and the one after that. I keep one in my office, one at home, and one in my briefcase. That way I can give my phone a complete charge when it runs low, thereby maximizing the life of the charge as well as the life of the battery itself. I typically plug this phone into a computer that's going to be running anyway, which saves a bit of energy compared with plugging it into a powerpack and then into the wall.

I can confirm that, as expected, this cable works perfectly with my phone which is an LG enV3. (For other enV3 users, note that the manual says you have to install the driver on your computer in order to get the phone to charge via USB port--why they did it that way I don't know but it applies whether you use this USB cable or the one that comes with the phone. And it's true--I tried it without the driver and I got nowhere.) So why spend $30 on the official cable-and-power-pack combo when you can get this for about 80% less? You'll have more than enough money left over to buy an extra power pack if you don't plan to plug your phone into a computer to charge it.

3.0 out of 5 stars USB2.0 to Micro B cable, September 25, 2010

This 3ft. USB 2.0 to Micro B cable was inexpensive, shipped quckly, but was non functional when I received it. It appears the plastic insulation material in the 2.0 end was mal-formed. I sent an email to the supplier (United Integral) and they promptly sent me a no-charge replacement which works fine. I'm disappointed the first cable was bad but they handled it well and quickly.

I ordered three of these cable for use with my Motorola Droid and my fiancee's Palm Pre. So far they all work fine with the computers we've plugged them in to, as well as the charger blocks that came with the Droid and the Pre. Nothing fancy, they just work.
