Don't Need Mini USB converter

[tatnai]

Don't know if this is well know, but I just figured out that you DO NOT need the mini-usb to phone converter to charger your phone or to connect it to your computer. Just stick the mini usb cable right into your phone - it only fits one way because of the little cut-off corner - and it works perfectly. I have charged my phone, and connected to my computer, no problems. I'm throwing the stupid converter away. Finally

yeah true but some say if you just jam it in there, it could mess up your port. that's why the adapter is there

been doing it since the day the xv6900 came out...no problems ever

Heh... Its actually pretty funny how I figured that out.

Well, when I got my mogul I didn't think that the standard USB cable would fit. So I decided to use the converter. I plugged in my phone to charge and went downstairs. Halfway down the stairs, I realized that I had the converter in my hand. I ran back up to my desk, and I had the regular cable connected!

It was my embarrassing moment of the day.

well, the fact that the supplied power adapter was the 5-pin variety gave me the hint..
page 10 in the user manual also states this..

Wait...what? Converter?

I don't even know what it looks like, so it's probably in the plastic in a box somewhere. I never used one for the Mogul or my Touch. I thought it was common knowledge that it's still a 5-pin mini USB, so just because it's not the same exact shape, it doesn't matter.

lol I had no idea people used a converter.

Pretty stupid not to realize this the second you received your phone.
USB-A to USB Mini-B directly to the phone.

No "kneed" to post about it.
