Customer Reviews

Great product, great price

We just wanted connectivity between the LG shine and our PC via USB. Should've been simple. However, our wireless company wanted $30.00 for a USB cable. I knew there was a better way.

The cable worked right out of the box. The trick here is you need to change your USB connection settings on your phone if you want to transfer mp3 or picture files. On the LG Shine, we changed it to "Mass Storage" and then our PC treated the phone just like an external drive.

Works great for my purposes
My cable came with software (even though the product description explicitly states that it does not come with software), but I did not install it. Without the software, the phone shows up as a USB Mass Storage Device, and that's all I need anyway.

The cable itself works great. It's a little stiff to plug into and unplug from your phone at first, but it seems to be loosening up (which is a good thing at the moment). An added bonus is that it will also charge your phone's battery as long as it's plugged in, which if anything, makes this a really cheap and convenient charger.

Beware of what you can actually accomplish with LG Cu720 Shine with AT&T
The cord works fine. However, I could not achieve what I wanted to do, which is edit/synchronize the address book. This is basically AT&T's fault. It turns out some of the functionality of the phone is locked by AT&T. So, while other companies allow access to the address book, etc., that functionality is not available for many of us. With this cable, after downloading the USB drivers and hacking the device via BitPim program (LG electronics has listed this as a "Tips and Trick" document) I have managed to open the file structure, manipulate the files, and even copy images. However, to date, I have not found a way of editting the addressbook... This is not a problem with the cable but a problem with what you can get done. The cable otherwise works.
