Like all Gomadic cables, the plastic is soft and flexible, and doesn't get locked into a certain position over time like some cables do. I find cables like this are perfect for travelling since I usually take my laptop with me if I'm going away long enough to exhaust the battery on my Pocket PC. One less bulky AC adaptor to carry with me.<br /><br />And since we're in the season of giving, Gomadic gave me two extra cables to give away! The <b>first two</b> XDA/T-Mobile owners to post a response to this message will get a cable sent to them (please only post if you can use this item). If you're not lucky enough to be one of the winners, you can still get a 10% discount using the coupon code "ppcthoughts". That coupon code also functions as an affiliate code for us. Spread the joy I say! :bday: <br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/gomadic-xda-sync-charge.gif" /> <br /><br />"Simply your life! Charge your PocketPC Phone while synchronizing data with Gomadic’s new T-Mobile/O2 XDA/Siemens SX56 Power Sync USB Cable. Custom designed for the mobile professional who wants to reduce the number of cables required to support life on the road. By connecting this 5-foot long cable between the base of the PocketPC Phone and a standard USB port, users can simultaneously recharge their T-Mobile / O2 XDA / ATT Siemens SX56 phone while auto synchronizing data with their desktop or laptop PC. No bulky cradles, no AC power adapters and no additional software are required!"

Woohoo! I win!
To clearify, I'm waiting for my T-mobile to get here, then I can put this to use.

By the way, this cable will also sync and charge the Orange SPV Smartphone.

I guess my question is why people prefer this type of cable so much. When I'm near a desk with lots of workspace, I prefer a cradle, because it makes it easy to see my Pocket PC screen. When I don't have a lot of space, I use IR or WiFi to synch.

I agree. However I do like to sync AND charge via my laptop when on the road. What I don't get is why someone can't come out with a 3 INCH version. I don't need (or want) the other 4.75 feet when connecting to my laptop!

Murph: It's a USB cable, not serial.
