Mini-USB Cable Standard or Special?

I searched pretty thoroughly, I think, but could not find info on the mini-USB cable.
My previous Blackberry used a similar cable, but reading about my XV6700 warned against other cables.
I accidentally used the Blackberry cable/charger, and the phone later turned out to be bad. Coincidence?

Will any standard USB to mini-USB cable work with the Apache? (broke mine)

A Blackberry car chager cable?

If I buy generic, what ensures it will work?

Thanks lightbiter, piratedninja, and shettj. My Blackberry cable works fine, one other cable works fine. The one I broke won't sync, but will charge, and the other doesn't work for unknown reasons. But at least, I am back in business, and can reflash my perfectly awesome phone again. (But why?) (It is just so incredibly cool to be able to do so, that's why. Thanks, Helmi and the Kitchen team. No Mogul for me unless you crack that too.)
