I didn't believe this was true - that certain mini usb's wouldn't work for syncing, but I just checked with 2 retractables I own.

An insten retractable that I bought from EBAY 2 years ago for $5 works like a charm.

An etech retractable I bought fromt the Dollar Tree for a buck, only works for charging. - though I've used it to transfer files from/to other devices.

I thought the mini usb spec was standard.
