    USB stands for Universal Serial Bus. Universal means standard.

    You can use any matching cable to supply both power and data connections.

    They're supposed to - but I saw one not work once. But, this cord was one my Dad bought from some dollar store that was made in the country Borat is from.

    Blackberries use either a mini USB (older ones like the Curve & Pearl for example), or a micro USB (Storm, 8900). they ARE different, but you can get a converter from Radio shack

    Yea the newer LG phones are micro, which is what the Storm has. I'm not sure about the Bold.

    That my friend is a Motorola issue, they program their phones to only use OEM Motorola equipment. A Moto cord or charge WILL work on other phones, BUT other phone's chargers and cords will not work on Motorola. Pretty fudged (I want to use another word here) up decision on their part!

    my wife's razr tells her that when trying to use bb charger. I was talking about usb to laptop in original post and I have already used the generic cable sucessfully.
