Does USB Data Cable Charge Phone?

Jan 17, 2006, 8:29 PM

Considering buying a USB cable for the e815 so that I can use it as a charger by hooking it up to my laptop when I'm on the road. Do the USB cables charge this phone or are they data only?

Thanks

Data only, at least the one I have is that way. It DOES have a port in the side that you can plug a charger into, I never got that working right, now I just use a BT dongle for connections to my computer.

I have a USB charge cable. I bought it about 4 years ago for my V60. You probably can find one on Ebay. If you have the factory data cable, it should have a charge port on the side of the plug on the phone end. I use it when I tether the phone for programming, DUN, etc. It's nice having 2 USB ports on my laptop.
