Re: Will any USB 5pin cable work to charge the Diamond?
I plugged my phone into the computer using a regular mini USB cable that I have there for charging/sycning other devices. It gave me the usual "Active Sync or Removable drive?" prompt, then locked up. I had to reset it. Charging from the power adapter with the same cable works, but not as fast as using the Diamond's weird little EXT-USB cable. According to the Battery Monitor program, the EXT-USB cable seems to deliver about 800mA to the device. The regular mini USB cable delivers about 400-500mA to the device, even when connected to the AC adapter.
Short answer: A regular mini-USB cable connected to the AC adapter will charge your Diamond, but at a slower rate than the EXT-USB cable.
Hope this helps!
