Re: Will any USB 5pin cable work to charge the Diamond?

I would strongly advise against this...

1) Inefficiency. You are using a 400W inverter to power a 5W MAX device.
2) Unless you buy an expensive sine wave generating inverter, you will put square waves into your transformer. These harmonics can burn out your transformer and damage your phone.

Like mentioned many times,

USB via computer = 500mA MAX
If you get an AC-USB Adapter purchase one that is atleast 1A or 1000mA.

I noticed that my Diamond never charges more than that so any extra is not necessary.

Any mini-b usb connector will work, but if you can use your original cable its better to use that whenever possible. I find the mini-b doesnt quite perfectly fit, and causes strain on the socket in the phone.
