When I first got the N81 8GB and now the N82 I noticed that they came with the Nokia CA-101 microUSB cable that has a handy thingy that holds the cable together. I think the proper name for it might be a “clamp” but I’m not too sure. I wanted to blog about this, but I actually forgot about it, but after comparing the cable with the one that came with the N800 I remembered about this. I presume the N95 8GB also came with this, but again I’m not sure. Can N95 8GB owners confirm this? If you’re like me you have many devices with their USB cable and no matter what you do these cables always manage to become all tangled up and if you have them all together it will become this giant USB cable spaghetti. A small but thoughtful detail that helps to make things a bit neater: all they need to work on now is the USB charging.

I just got a Nokia 6555 and it says the CA-101 cable is what I need for using PC Suite to transfer files between the phone and PC.
Do you know a good online supplier of these or a generic that would work?
Would it be better and less expensive to use a USB 2.0 BlueTooth PC adapter (dongle) for the transfer? Any suggestions where to buy a reliable adapter online?
Thanks …

Is there anything special about this cable vs a normal micro usb cable if there is such a thing?
Jon, nope….just a normal USB cable. Only difference is the clamp that holds the cable together.
I got this cable with ny N810. This cable is much better than a standard USB cable. It’s sturdier and thinner at the same time =) = better.
Why is this cable so hard to buy locally?
I dont trust web buying.
Any ideas? I see so many applications possible but need the cable first.
Thanks
