Hi

Can I Sync a Treo 650 via USB Dongle.

I would want all the same features as a cradle.

Do you mean a USB cable, or a USB bluetooth adapter?

I currently hotsync my 650 with a bluetooth dongle and have had no issues.

If you do decide to hotsync using a bluetooth dongle, you may as well share your internet connection to your phone as well.

I've used PPPgate to configure it all for me automatically as I don't generally have time for trial and error anymore :P

Hi Possum,

I bought a segcable off trademe a few months back. It's a rollup usb connection to the Treo 650 and recharges as well.

Can't remember what it cost, around $20 I think.

Much less room and goes fine.
Cheers
