OEM Palm Centro Treo 650 680 700 750 USB Desktop Hotsync Cable

For the unsatisfied customers, I wonder if they purchased from a different vendor? I purchased my product from The OEM Shop, meaning they sell only Original Equipment Manufacture products. Since there are no identifying marks on either the new part or the original, I cannot verify this for sure, but I have no reason to doubt it. Looks and functions exactly like my original, and I know that I will have trouble telling them apart unless I mark one of them in some manner.I bought this as an extra for use with my LifeDrive. Like my original, this product has a sync button, a place to plug in the charger, and both the charger and the sync button work just fine. The cord length is the same. The Sync button is even a little nicer - it clicks instead of just pushing down.re: the vendor, The OEM Store - Shipping was INCREDIBLY fast - shipped the next day, arrived 2 days later. The price was incredible, and the shipping cost is 'round about what I would expect to pay if I shipped a similar item myself.

It works OK if you very carefully attach it. Sometimes you get protocol errors which makes me think the connector is not very good and has a high resistance compared to the original shipped with the Palm cable which never has this issue.Then again, if Palm would just use a mini USB connector, it wouldn't be a problem and I wouldn't have to have this special cable at all.

The Palm Treo OEM Data Cable works great for syncing your palm products to Outlook and backing up contacts and files. The product has a small button the on the palm connector that allows you to connect via usb at one and connect your palm hit the button and all your data is backed up. The Palm Desktop software must be installed on your computer and Active Sync is a free download for Windows XP, 2000 and media manager for Windows Vista and Windows 7. Overall great product.

After about 2 weeks the car charger no longer fits snugly into the phone and slips out while the phone is charging. The home charger is working fine.

I was a little concerned because these sync cords tend to be finicky, and reviews on some of them talk about the item not being as pictured. In this case, it is perfect. It charges. It syncs. It has a button. And since Treos are going the way of the do-do bird, I am going to order one more cable just in case I can't get them soon.

I dislike systems with proprietary cables but sometimes you have to deal with it. This allows me to continue using my Treo that I don't want to replace.

Exact replacement of original cable. If you can't sync your Palm after a Windows upgrade, it's probably a software compatibility issue and not that this cable doesn't function, because it works perfectly. Very pleased with purchase and seller follow-up.

what started off as a good deal ended up being a mistake.within 2 weeks there were only three pins left. good luck making a connection!
