Advantages: strong
Disadvantages: none

...Now iv not done a review on USB cables before, really its just never hit me that I could actually write about these and there’s also the fact that there’s not really much you can say about a cable, but ill give it a go. This is a normal printer cable which means it has two ends, one being the end which goes into any USB port in your computer or laptop, this end is the rectangle shaped end and is called a type A. The other end is which goes into your printer, and don’t worry as nearly every printer made has this kind of end so it will definitely fit, and this end is kind of square in shape and is known as the type B end. It transfers data to your computer at speeds of up to 480 mbps, that’s megabytes a second which is really fast and is about 40 times faster than USB 1.1 cables. The cable its self is 1.8 m...

Advantages: necessity for camera/mp3 phones, allows fast transfer of files to your nokia
Disadvantages: not compatible with older computers and some Nokias

...with the cable. ---COST--- A USB data cable is usually supplied with your Nokia Phone and if your phone came with the data cable pictured then your phone will work with this cable. If you have lost or broken your data cable or bought your phone second hand and did not recieve one then you will need to pay around £5 - £10 depending on what sites or shops you buy it from. It is great value for money as you will always be using it. ---THE CABLE--- The cable its self is quite strong and will last a long time however if the cable is pulled or not looked after correctly then you will break it quickly. I have had the contacts bent on mine which means the connection between the phone and the PC can not be made and so the cable is useless. I have also had loose connections in the wire so while i was transfering data the slightest knock on the wire... Read review

Advantages: small, reliable to use
Disadvantages: Cost is a bit too much

...This item is just like any other USB cable. The USB can be used for equipment such as printers, modems, memory sticks etc. Normally when you buy a USB wire both of the sides are the same but this item different as it has one small USB on one side and one big USB on the other side. The big USB on one side is mainly used to insert into the computer and the other small end is used to insert into printers, digital cameras and modems and many more but just make sure that there is a small USB port on the equipment which you are going to use it on before you buy this product. The one thing that I don't like is the price of this item as I think it is too much for just one wire and they should be much cheaper. These USB cables will last a very long time and are very reliable as they will work all the time. The wire is very strong... Read review

Advantages: gives you an extra 1.8 meters on any USB product
Disadvantages: none

...that could connect my headset to the computer and let me use it, and this is what I did. I trudged down to my local PC world and paid a little money for a 1.8 meter Belkin Pro Series USB Extension Cable and was very very happy with it when I got home. It is very well made with a nice thick rubber protective rapping over the wire inside so unless you cut it with a knife its not going to be damaged if you full on it a little or even a allot. It supports all standard USB ports with its well made male plug (the bit that goes into the computer) and on the other end of the cable has a nice thick female port (the bit that you will stick your USB device in) I have had no problems with this cable at all, it doesn't suffer from any lag and because it has a thick cable it doesn't snap or damage if you catch it with you feet while its laying on the floor...

Advantages: more external Memory storage
Disadvantages: small and fiddly

...**BUFFALO Ultra High Speed USB Flash Drive (Type R ) Memory key 2GB** - What is Flash Drive Type R?- The notable difference with the two types is that the R version is 4 months older in the market than TYPE S. The packaging is a different colour; but apart from that there is hardly anything noticeably different regarding to performance comparing the two types. **This version is as secure as it's updated version TYPE S, and therefore fairs very similiar attributes** *Summary* Buffalo, is also know as Buffalo Technology was more known two years ago as a wireless firm -- now it has expanded into computer storage..

Advantages: Have plenty of USB ports at any time
Disadvantages: Can be a bit of a pain when it comes to the power supply.

...the ports so much easier. Which model did I choose? I chose the Belkin Hi-Speed USB 2.0 4-Port Hub; this was based on the price, availability and looks. The price and availability of the USB hub were my main purchasing considerations. What did I get? I got the main USB hub, a connection cable (one end plugs into the hub and the other plugs into a USB port on the computer), a transformer (this supplies power to the hub via a cable that plugs into the hub, more about this later in the review) and very limited instructions. This all gave me change from £25. What does it look like? The hub itself is squircle shaped (a cross between a square and a circle) on one end are four USB ports, at one side is a socket for connecting the USB lead that connects the hub to the computer and another socket for the power supply that comes from...

Advantages: It transfers data
Disadvantages: None

...What can I possibly say about a "cable" ? Its a USB Cable, standard USB connection on one end (the type that fits into the USB socket on your PC or laptop), and a different type of USB connection on the other (that fits certain Nokia phone models). Sorry I don't know the names of the specific types of connectors, but they are both male. My cable is black but I would imagine it comes in other colours. It is 1.2m in length, which is plenty long enough, unless your PC is tucked away in a very unaccessible place. The Ciao description says it is for connecting a Nokia 5510 but I use it to connect an N95, and I imagine a lot of other Nokia models will use this type of connection too. Best to check on the Nokia website. If you need to transfer data, synchronise you address book, install software on your phone etc, then I can recommend... Read review
