One of my friends needs a Data cable to connect his PC/laptop to the Nokia 6080 for the EDGE functionality. The original Nokia Data cable CA-42 costs about Rs.1600-1800 while the unbranded ones are costing about Rs.500-600.

Will an unbranded data cable cause any damages to the computer and the cellphone ? :mad:

Is there any other hidden dangers in using unbranded ones ? :confused:

Though it may not be causing much problem to hardware but you won't be getting the performance as with original one

You are paying Rs.500 for an unbranded data cable? It seems too expensive. My friend bought one for around 250 bucks. I'm not sure.
Well, I don't think there is any difference between the two, but you may loose the warranty if you use the unbranded one, get some problem and nokia people come to know of it.

Please explain.

IMHO, there's nothing to worry about, they're all the same, the original will just look more flashy.

Hmm i think the Original should use direct Usb support as in Usb.
And the unbranded ones user Virtual Serial port and herein is the problem.
Either you get it working or just get frustrated..
But its only my thought..i may be wrong but read it somewhere.
