I just got this mini-sync cable yesterday from boxwave. Thanks for this suggestion, it works perfectly, and it charges my phone off the usb power too!
They have a listing on their site specifically for the i600 mini-sync now, I got that one. It's probably the same cable.
I followed the above instructions to connect to the express network, and I clocked my laptop at a steady 16KB/s (translates to 128kb/s), so with TCP overhead, verizon is truly supplying a 144kb connection. Props to Verizon Wireless for the great signal and speed, I'm a new user (formerly a t-mobile user). They give me 800 daytime minutes, free nights and weekends, and when I'm on the express network, I just use my voice minutes (that means it's free on the nights and weekends!), all for $60. That is a national calling plan, with no roaming charges on vzw roaming partners.
Sure, t-mobile was offering me unlimited GPRS for $3 per month, but it was so slow it was unusable!!!
EDIT: I thought I would add that it will cost me an additional $45/month if I decide to upgrade my Express Network access to unlimited. It's tempting, but I'm just going to see if I can restrain myself to nights/weekends usage for now.
