The wire 'they' wish you didn't have
This inexpensive wire allows for easy transfer of media files - photos, DRM-free music, videos, etc. between a Sony Ericsson phone and any computer that has a USB port.
It is very useful for phone users such as myself who are only interested in a 'phone calls only' plan and are not willing to pay the phone company some extra monthly charge for Internet service.
It is needed because the Sony Ericsson phones do NOT support a standard USB interface so a 'normal' USB cable will not work.
Extended Discussion
I'm not surprised my wife's Sony Ericsson's TM506 came without a USB interface wire. It was a 'free' phone and the phone company wished they could nickel and dime us forever through their 'plans' and and make us pay various monthly service fees for the privilege of downloading a couple of songs or uploading photos or videos we made using the phone's camera. The Sony Ericsson's phones lacking a standard USB interface is probably intimidating enough to persuade most users to succumb to the phone company's demand of an extra $10 or more per month for 'web' access. But it does not need to be this way.
Since we only wanted a phone that made phone calls this inexpensive wire allows us to squeeze some extra functionality off our free phone by allowing us to transfer media files in and out of the phone by connecting it to a computer. It's easy, it requires no software installation and we don't need to pay one extra dime to the phone company for the privilege.
Positives:
- eliminates the need to pay the phone company for an Internet connection
- no software installation required
- file transfer is actually faster
- allows for easy media files transfer to and from OUR computer - all DRM-free files can be easily send to the phone
- even users who have an Internet plan may appreciate the ability to connect their phone directly to their computer
Concerns:
- some minimal computer skills are expected - such as the ability to recognize specific file types and copy or move them to/from specific folders
Conclusion: recommended to any Sony Ericsson phone user, with or without a media or Internet plan.
Very useful
I got this for a w300i, and it allows me to get pictures and videos off the phone without paying the monthly fee for sending data over the phone. It can be used to put mp3s on the phone as well.
Works Well After Software Installation
Haven't used it much. Install PC Suite software from Sony Ericsson's website first. Functions with my w760A.
