All BlackBerry devices come with a USB cable for charging, backups, syncing and more. Its a useful accessory of which every BlackBerry owner knows the value. When traveling or packing it into your "accessory drawer" or laptop bag, the standard USB cable can be a pain sometimes. For this reason, I'm a big fan of a retractable USB cable. These little guys are just a few inches long when rolled up, but when pulled out it stretches to over two feet. No more tangles from multiple cords, and you can even cart this one around in your pocket. With both mini-USB and micro-USB versions available, pretty much every device is covered.
If you need some more control, you can even check out the dual-head sync & charge cable that lets you charge two micro-USB devices at once. Great for charging a headset and device together, device and a spare battery, or whatever crazy combination you can think of. Got more than one device? Check out the retractable cable with 5 different tips to fit all (or most) of your other devices.
CONTEST: Win a retractable USB cable of your choice!
For your chance to win a retractable cable of choice from those offered at ShopCrackBerry.com, simply leave a comment to this blog post telling us how having a retractable cable would help you out. Contest ends this Sunday night at Midnight PST. Please, just one entry per person.

Less clutter, very useful during outstation business trips!
ibbeach0 Apr 7, 2010 at 8:52 pm
Oh the joy of no more tangled cables. I cannot begin to express the displeasure f having to rewind cables and getting them all tangled up everytime I travel. KISS keep it simple stupid. This is an awesome exaomle of KISS.
garrbbage Apr 7, 2010 at 8:54 pm
i could sure use one!
Jarras Apr 7, 2010 at 8:55 pm
This would help eliminate the cluster of wires I carry around cause I am constantly on the go and so many things all need a different wire of varying lengths and sizes.
BB Musketeers Apr 7, 2010 at 9:00 pm
Would be less cable to cart around when I'm tethering my BB to my netbook.
Dman868 Apr 7, 2010 at 9:00 pm
Having this cable would really help out with the birds nest of cables that I currently have in my computer bag.
Fawkes09 Apr 7, 2010 at 9:00 pm
I would become a multi effcient man made machine!
tcseacliff Apr 7, 2010 at 9:02 pm
on my desktop,it would be nice to have one little slice of neatness for my BOLD to refresh itself!
Milkman00 Apr 7, 2010 at 9:11 pm
This would help me out as I could attach it to my laptop and have it right there with my laptop when I need it!
36dbldz Apr 7, 2010 at 9:31 pm
cuz its free and i wont have to spend $ on it
Eddiethking Apr 7, 2010 at 9:31 pm
I need as many chargers as possible. I am always on the go, and I like to make my life easier by having more than one charger. Being able to plug into my computer and charge my headset and my BB is simply superb.
Maks87 Apr 7, 2010 at 9:32 pm
to keep from running over my phone wire! Make it retractable!
ramsfan3068 Apr 7, 2010 at 9:37 pm
this would be neato
Merschz Apr 7, 2010 at 9:38 pm
If it had a zune tip would be even better. fAlways have a few phones and other electronic devices around.
Hockeypuck55 Apr 7, 2010 at 9:43 pm
I could just put it in my pocket
mandoman28 Apr 7, 2010 at 9:47 pm
I have something similar for my laptop.
R1cE Apr 7, 2010 at 9:48 pm
My sister steals my standard USB for her camera and Im usually left without a USB. With this USB I wont even need to care about my standard USB!!!
cloudyskies41 Apr 7, 2010 at 9:50 pm
Me please!
estrickle Apr 7, 2010 at 9:51 pm
id luv 1
exmeaguy Apr 7, 2010 at 9:53 pm
I want one.
alwaysBB4me Apr 7, 2010 at 9:54 pm
This retractable USB cable would make my life so much easier while traveling for work. Would love to get one!
jprice Apr 7, 2010 at 9:55 pm
would love this, it would save lots of trouble carrying so many cords
ydcampbe Apr 7, 2010 at 9:57 pm
This looks sweet and would help me out a lot because I am tired of wrapping up the cords every time I leave the house.
Blakemt96 Apr 7, 2010 at 9:58 pm
My life is cluttered with tangled cords, winning this would definately ease some burden on my life!
adorkablerocker Apr 7, 2010 at 10:00 pm
good for my travelling!
duncan.leung Apr 7, 2010 at 10:00 pm
This would be great; I always get my charger cables tangled up with everything else in my bag!
ncf632 Apr 7, 2010 at 10:10 pm
i want one!!!
digix Apr 7, 2010 at 10:18 pm
THE RETRACTABLE USB cable would make my computer desk look more tidy :)
cretz42 Apr 7, 2010 at 10:18 pm
retractable cables rock!
Anon_Emus Apr 7, 2010 at 10:19 pm
Woke up ded one day. I thought I wuz bein strangled by a python but quickly realized that my wife thought it would be funny to wrap the cord around me neck. Go figure...
DaveS024 Apr 7, 2010 at 10:20 pm
All my wires and connections make such a mess, this would be the perfect solution for at least one of the wires
rabidfangs Apr 7, 2010 at 10:20 pm
i need one
Flip4Bytes Apr 7, 2010 at 10:24 pm
I would love the chance to win these cables... I only have one Blackberry charger that stays plugged in next to my bed for a nightly Blackberry Charge :p Problem is, I sometimes forget to plug it in at night. After a long day designing websites for work, next to a COMPUTER all day, so it would be great to be able to charge my Blackberry when I'm working if i forgot to charge it the night before. Hope I win and good luck everyone! <3
intprd04 Apr 7, 2010 at 10:25 pm
I keep the usb cable and the ac/usb adapter in my pocket for those heavy use days. This would really lighten the load for me!!!
linkinfinity Apr 7, 2010 at 10:33 pm
Less desk clutter? Are you kidding?! If I don't get some help with my messy desk soon I will lose my mind! This is a must!
berd#cb Apr 7, 2010 at 10:35 pm
This would be nice to have!
noobuser Apr 7, 2010 at 10:38 pm
A dual micro cable would let me charge my work and play BBs at the same time.
jetboysixx Apr 7, 2010 at 10:39 pm
The data cable that comes with the 8530 is so short it's useless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
quiverskeep Apr 7, 2010 at 10:54 pm
I have eight kids? Yeah..you should feel pity on me and pick me!!! hehe..okay okay, so I LOVE having eight kids.. still, pick me for simply being a Blackberry mom of eight :)
wresqu Apr 7, 2010 at 11:01 pm
This would make my use of charging my BlackBerry so much easier. I wouldn't have to detangle my charging cords, and it would be neatly organized in a simple little case. I would love to win one of these little gems, and if not I'll purchase one for my Tour!
qberry69 Apr 7, 2010 at 11:02 pm
nice one.
jessebo8247 Apr 7, 2010 at 11:06 pm
I may have to pick one of these up if I don't win. I'm always folding up the cable that came with it and putting it in my jacket pocket.
friedriceballer Apr 7, 2010 at 11:08 pm
Sweet, would mean no more tangling of wires when syncing BB!!!
HorseVu Apr 7, 2010 at 11:09 pm
I travel quite frequently, so the more compact my accessories are the better. I already own a retractable R45 cable. This would do wonders :)
cdnwanderer Apr 7, 2010 at 11:13 pm
I couldn't count how many times I've forgotten my cable on my desk at home only to realize that when i get to work that i forgot to charge my blackberry. A cable such as this would be perfect to keep in my laptop bag....readily available at all times!
potatostyle Apr 7, 2010 at 11:15 pm
this would help me out so much. i have so many different chargers and stuff to bring with me whenever i go out of town for work that it takes up half my carry on bag!
lepscrack Apr 7, 2010 at 11:19 pm
This would help alleviate the jungle of wires I have all knotted up.
elmoramos Apr 7, 2010 at 11:20 pm
i lost my data cable and this is the only way i can get one!
Tino834 Apr 7, 2010 at 11:21 pm
:)
norcalboi Apr 7, 2010 at 11:22 pm
i travel sooo much for work! this would be an awesome travel accessory!!!!
The_New_Dude Apr 7, 2010 at 11:22 pm
It would be the perfect cable to use at work. Small, discrete, and tidy!!
SAFE88 Apr 7, 2010 at 11:32 pm
lost my orignal usb cables!!!
viper0796 Apr 7, 2010 at 11:37 pm
quiero!
brimanp Apr 7, 2010 at 11:39 pm
Hopefully the retractable cord would be small enough to escape the attention of my 6 kids. That way when I need to sync it may actually be there
Phil0352 Apr 7, 2010 at 11:44 pm
I'd like one please....
Grimagination Apr 8, 2010 at 12:03 am
I travel a good deal and I'm constantly fumbling for my cables when I get settled. A retractable cable sounds perfect!
mak7187 Apr 8, 2010 at 12:09 am
It would be nice to have so I wouldn't have to cart the big bulky cable around to use tether!
Bigdeuce Apr 8, 2010 at 12:10 am
Since I have multiple devices, I have multiple cables to sync them. If I had this then I could get rid of the other cables and my life would be less tangled.
jkings Apr 8, 2010 at 12:34 am
...with all of the unfolding, plugging, refolding and tucking away into a bag i currently do with my current cable. please consider me, i'd be extremely grateful.
lovelo Apr 8, 2010 at 12:46 am
After recently buying a curve. Some how my usb is broken, it'd be amazing to have this one as its replacement lol This cord only goes so far. Now when im cooking in the kitchen I dnt have to leave it attached to the computer because it only goes so far it will retract lol. Hope I get it.
lovelo Apr 8, 2010 at 12:46 am

lilnin Apr 8, 2010 at 12:47 am
I could totally use this! It would eliminate the problem of my cats chewing through my charger. I have gone through two chargers!
zegra Apr 8, 2010 at 1:00 am
Always on the road, so I could use one.
Bibojim Apr 8, 2010 at 1:47 am
The smaller the charger the better!
lovetobebold Apr 8, 2010 at 1:49 am
Bring it on Pick Me!!!!!!! this would solve everything no more wires to untangle
wingnut91 Apr 8, 2010 at 2:00 am
I'll be leaving for the Army soon, and it would be nice to have sensible solution for portable USB cord. Carrying the one that comes with it is horribly cumbersome and annoying.
Morgase Apr 8, 2010 at 2:10 am
This would be great for anyone. Having this would make traveling anywhere easy for me. I wouldn't have to bring a bag of cables along with me. The clutter on my desk at home and work would be significantly reduced. (Especially since we aren't supposed to bring charging cables and such to work.)
ride1210 Apr 8, 2010 at 2:23 am
i want to win
afina85 Apr 8, 2010 at 2:32 am
this is great convenient to the consumers...
Rapid Dr3am Apr 8, 2010 at 2:47 am
I could put it in my work bag without it being all tangled.
astrodad Apr 8, 2010 at 2:59 am
be a nice to have acc
JuicyAmari Apr 8, 2010 at 3:09 am
that is so cool! i hope i win one!
Strakerc Apr 8, 2010 at 3:27 am
Fun contest; hope I win!
bizymare Apr 8, 2010 at 3:37 am
Love the round up and the contest... now help me keep my cords in order on my trips, please.
pboong Apr 8, 2010 at 3:45 am
Such cable really helps a lot when you are packing the bag. Imagine of having the cable tie open and close because of the long USB cable charger you have?
This will certainly solve the headache of many. A great tool for almost everyone. Handy and neater.
Snoopster J Apr 8, 2010 at 3:54 am
Oh goodness. For the countless times at school and on trips where I don't have my longgggg USB cable handy, this will give me no excuse for not carrying it around. I'm curious as to the durability of these thin, wiry cables!
aakiwowo Apr 8, 2010 at 4:15 am
...the blackberry is an educated phone! More accessories please. Thanks.
jckw Apr 8, 2010 at 4:24 am
i travel around a lot with my laptop and sometimes it's just much handier to have a retractable USB cable than the entire thing. also, sometimes i just forget my USB cable so if i had one at work, i could use it to charge my phone and sync it with my computer
ckinglam Apr 8, 2010 at 4:57 am
With this I can keep this in my backpack and carry it everywhere! One for me please!!
RooFarm Apr 8, 2010 at 5:21 am
This would be a great convenience by taking up less space. I also think it would look less clunky when I am sitting in a restaurant. LR
davkt Apr 8, 2010 at 6:14 am
Easy to loose a single micro USB charge/sync cable for my Storm 2 amongst the spaghetti of chargers, game controllers, camera cables, mini USB cables etc, one of these could just live in my pocket and save the hassle!
VetteVert Apr 8, 2010 at 6:15 am
WWCD
mzceetee Apr 8, 2010 at 6:31 am
This is something I can take on the road ... thanks.........
mm_eagles Apr 8, 2010 at 6:43 am
Being a guy, we need something that is this compact for charging when on the go. I'm not always in car, so this is a great way to stay charged on the go.
zugbug Apr 8, 2010 at 6:49 am
One of the most useful accessories I've seen.
Pathtek4 Apr 8, 2010 at 6:56 am
What a way to decrease clutter in our laptop bags
wwbobski Apr 8, 2010 at 7:03 am
Hope to have all my devices on Micro usb soon. more cables is even better. I Like choices. Thanks for pointing them all out.
rscholz Apr 8, 2010 at 7:12 am
Great
ggap10 Apr 8, 2010 at 7:45 am
Less cords..always males life easy..
Prince_Poppycock Apr 8, 2010 at 7:51 am
Having a retractable cable would help to keep things nice and tidy!
Wickee Apr 8, 2010 at 8:00 am
I'm having to pack and unpack my cable all the time. I've been traveling a lot, because my wedding is going to be in another state, so a fair amount of traveling is required for the planning. Add on top of that sometimes needing it to plug in at work, at home for the computers, and to charge at night by the bed, I would need to have like 4 cables to be able to avoid the packing and unpacking and the "what bag is it in, I need it" situation. Having this would at least make it easy to take with me, instead of it tangling with my fiance's charger. On top of that, I could throw it in my pocket for work when I need it, and it can come out with the keys when I get home. No need to check this bag and that, and did I forget it at work. It would make it a lot easier to manage.
TekWarren Apr 8, 2010 at 8:10 am
Can never have to many backup BB charing/sync cables.
CrackCurve56 Apr 8, 2010 at 8:39 am
This would be a Godsend to me as I am (nightly) charging my BlackBerry Bold 9700 and 1 or 2 headsets, and I have no more room in the electrical outlet. My daughter said one day I will start a fire with all the electrical things hooked up so this would help. :)
JJGeneral1 Apr 8, 2010 at 8:41 am
i hope retractables have come along since the last one i had. it was a car charger, and it stopped working after like 10 uses. hopefully this one would work better.
jjjjaram Apr 8, 2010 at 9:02 am
go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on go on. u know you would like me to have one.
ldeffinbaugh Apr 8, 2010 at 9:18 am
nice
r1ckynutz Apr 8, 2010 at 9:28 am
AWESOME ACCESSORIES!!
I could sure use the retractable usb cable =D
pezboy Apr 8, 2010 at 9:29 am
This would really be handy!
ronteekay Apr 8, 2010 at 9:34 am
THANK YOU VERY MUCH
echucker Apr 8, 2010 at 9:43 am
I have a Belikin retractable mini-USB that I pair with a Motorola micro-USB. Would be nice to have just one piece to carry.
Battscrew Apr 8, 2010 at 9:49 am
Ipod cables, bb cables, power cord cables! Thus would save my marriage!
Jerry5k Apr 8, 2010 at 9:57 am
would like to be a winner. Thanks for the chance.
dannony#cb Apr 8, 2010 at 10:11 am
I can use one of these!
StaplesJohn Apr 8, 2010 at 10:25 am
Don't get me wrong I love the idea of retractable and free, but I have six of them I paid for from various sites like Paypal, Handango, and Mobihand for many devices and not one has made it past six months. Oh, before you ask, yes most of them have been Seido. I have had no better luck with their extended batteries over the lifetime. Not one battery lasting me over a year, whereas the OEM battery gives me an average of 2 years.
nicfox Apr 8, 2010 at 10:34 am
It would be nice to not have extra cables strung everywhere
BOS2BDA Apr 8, 2010 at 10:43 am
I use my USB all the time and this would help with the travel :-)
Cathy_B Apr 8, 2010 at 10:50 am
It would be Awesome to have.
eguelch Apr 8, 2010 at 10:56 am
It would clean up this mess! Thanks
trophyking Apr 8, 2010 at 11:00 am
No more tangle no more bulk O YEA!!
cmohns Apr 8, 2010 at 11:02 am
I had not seen the dual headed unit before. That would be really useful for me.
DigtheBerry Apr 8, 2010 at 11:02 am
Crackberry you always have the cool stuff... count me in . YOU ROCK!
Hmarc187 Apr 8, 2010 at 11:03 am
I hate cables, with cables everything looks untidy. So this might come quite handy!
the_dilks Apr 8, 2010 at 11:10 am
Can I have one please?!
ischinazi Apr 8, 2010 at 11:20 am
no more tangled cords
pratik.patel Apr 8, 2010 at 11:22 am
I have enough usb cords in my bag to hang myself. This would be a welcome addition to the bag.
eyefro69 Apr 8, 2010 at 11:58 am
Would declutter my desk at work. Thanks for everything CB
SilverSfr Apr 8, 2010 at 12:01 pm
Less clutter!
Thanks for another chance to win!
harleyrkc Apr 8, 2010 at 12:05 pm
I need this for work, I have a wireless mouse that drives me crazy because of distance from the PC to the mouse....
annelle74 Apr 8, 2010 at 12:11 pm
Because I'm tired of caring around bunches of long cords...This would be so simple an easy to carry!
abandone Apr 8, 2010 at 12:20 pm
i guess i have been out of the techno loop way to long and didnt even think these existed....but wow.....would be much better then using a random cord with all of 2inches to spare and not let my BB dangle from the usb on my comp.
thp007 Apr 8, 2010 at 12:22 pm
One for me please!
NoKittyNo Apr 8, 2010 at 12:29 pm
Considering my bed now adheres the visage of a couch - smells like one, looks like one..even tastes like one(kidding!) and that couch can be restrictive(cough-Imeanbedcough) i'm always knocking the remote and my phone when looking for my glasses, as the USB cord can only be tugged soooo far, when plugged into my laptop. This would at least put my mind at ease when its sitting there naked on the glass table(faux chrome+sturdy glass+impact=OUCH)
So consider me if possible :)
Tallon Apr 8, 2010 at 12:53 pm
ok sure... me too... ditto... what they said...
ryanlion Apr 8, 2010 at 1:14 pm
and can help someone like myself get a little more organize. Simple pleasures for a simple man.
Dannyd534 Apr 8, 2010 at 1:18 pm
Haha this would help out a bunch...all my usb cables are tangled in a knot that i cant get out...so i have to grab the whole bunch if i want to use just one :P
MasterRy88 Apr 8, 2010 at 1:32 pm
you sold me on this one it looks like a great idea
mlundin Apr 8, 2010 at 1:46 pm
I travel a lot and this would be great.
ericpantano#CB Apr 8, 2010 at 2:02 pm
...this is the best idea. With all the connected devices I have to schlep around with me (iPod, Kindle, Laptop,etc), it would be nice to save space and headaches by having a retractible cable. They keep things neat and organized, and the cables last longer when they're not crimped and folded up.
I'd love on of these for free...
scuebydue Apr 8, 2010 at 2:36 pm
I use to have a retractable charger for my Motorola V3C. I loved it. You could hide it when not in use and stretched farther than standard chargers. Iwould love to win one of these. You should see my car cigarette lighter plugs. They are full of splitters and numerous chargers for different devices!
KCCause Apr 8, 2010 at 2:42 pm
It would be great to have a single cable to use with all of my devices. . .sure, may need to buy additional adapter tips! But that would be worth it. Eliminating the hassle of multiple wires for this and that!
vampora Apr 8, 2010 at 2:48 pm
I could use a retractable cord to keep my sister's four (FOUR!!!) cats from chewing on the excess cord hanging around when I'm charging my 8330m
Hockeychik99 Apr 8, 2010 at 2:51 pm
I'd love to have the retractable with two heads so I could charge my phone and my extra battery at the same time!!! Yes, the extra battery and wall charger are supposed to be charged when I change out batteries... but it's happened that I'm no where near my house or my car when this happens, and by the time I get home, I forget that the extra battery needs to be charged. Then, when the current battery is about dead, and I go to change batteries again, the extra is also about dead!!!! Talk about an unhappy camper!!!!! Rescue me CrackBerry!!!
DeniseK1 Apr 8, 2010 at 3:07 pm
I would love to have one, one less pesky wire!
Sturta Apr 8, 2010 at 3:08 pm
I'm too cheap to buy a second for the office, and too lazy to carry it back and forth.
asherwiin Apr 8, 2010 at 4:07 pm
I could use this!
dsump Apr 8, 2010 at 4:20 pm
Handy little thing isn't it.
Dracol1ch Apr 8, 2010 at 5:01 pm
I'd love to have one of these. Full size cables always make a mess out of my laptop bag. Used to have a little tiny mini-usb but now that everything's switch to micro it's useless.
litig8or98 Apr 8, 2010 at 7:52 pm
The real benefit to a retractable cable, at least in my mind, is the fact that you can throw it in your bag, and despite the plethora of other cables in there (external HDD, mp3 player, etc), it stands out. I'd certainly get some use out of one.
rroche Apr 8, 2010 at 8:45 pm
I travel close to 60% of every week and always have to pack cords! One of these would be VERY convenient!
Gpa Apr 8, 2010 at 8:58 pm
Pick me I want one.
Gpa Apr 8, 2010 at 9:00 pm
Pick me I need one.
enigmaspot Apr 8, 2010 at 9:37 pm
Wrap it up, I'll take it.
canadiansinusa Apr 8, 2010 at 10:46 pm
My travel case is completely stuffed with 12 different connection cables. If I could consolidate them into tangle-proof items I would LOVE it...not to mention on my night stand where I have a 4-port hub to charge all my USB devices...incredible!
tyler.hopkins Apr 8, 2010 at 11:27 pm
This would really help me out because I lost my usb cable lol and I really need another one.
RevJar Apr 8, 2010 at 11:58 pm
Always nice to have something small and compact when traveling. Too many cords=too big of a bag to carry.
pmars1180 Apr 9, 2010 at 12:01 am
The ability to use my car charger in my police cruiser is hampered by computer, radio, etc. A retractable USB cable would allow me to charge my phone and keep it within easy reach.
almcmich Apr 9, 2010 at 12:11 am
Would be nice to have a retractable USB cable.
velocityrob Apr 9, 2010 at 12:19 am
This would be a huge help on my crowded work desk...might help bring a bit of order to the chaos.
GeishaGhoul Apr 9, 2010 at 12:45 am
I am forever having to grab my laptop and run. In my haste, I inevitably forget at least one USB cord, not to mention space is at a premium in my 17" bag... The options this cord provides would solve so many problems I encounter, it may well be the sanity saver that keeps me out of the padded cells & hug me jackets!
muzicman73 Apr 9, 2010 at 1:17 am
It will make it much easier to transport and use.
Delrahim69 Apr 9, 2010 at 3:15 am
i still have the 8350i but also have an older motorola for backup and use it from time to time. with this cable, i could get rid of the others and free up the clutter from my center console.
Furell Apr 9, 2010 at 4:00 am
Yes, I can tell you this would make my life much simpler. I am wrap up to my neck in cables and cords! It's not so much a want, its more like a need for this. Please Crackberry untangle me! Good luck to all!
dogth99 Apr 9, 2010 at 4:50 am
With all the different cables used with laptops computers this would reduce the size of one of them.
The BlackBerry Massacre Apr 9, 2010 at 7:43 am
This would allow me to have one less cord to get tangled up.
thefinks Apr 9, 2010 at 8:18 am
i def would get alot of use out of this. my wife and me both charge our berrys in the kitchen every night. this would make it easier by hooking up to our laptop in living room. thanks guys....pick me i need it.
Joneser2006 Apr 9, 2010 at 8:32 am
Can't have enough charging opportunities during the day. At the office, in the field, home office, nightstand.
sage rat Apr 9, 2010 at 12:45 pm
It would be great to not untangled another cable. It is such a pain. Also would be great to eliminate several cables. Great idea!
blindguy Apr 9, 2010 at 4:19 pm
It would make storing the cable much easier. Thanks for the contest.
PurpleDrazi Apr 9, 2010 at 5:54 pm
me please!
PD
tnpen Apr 10, 2010 at 6:53 am
WOW !! This would be so handy to have !! : )
Bigbailey Apr 10, 2010 at 9:57 am
I could use this
wobly Apr 10, 2010 at 10:05 am
This would be great for when I travel!
Nice1 Apr 10, 2010 at 10:08 am
I travel a lot and I hav some many long cords to take with me a retractable cord would help me in the long run because I won't hav to worry about tangled cords
chriscoleman Apr 10, 2010 at 10:28 am
I am always on the go, an use my non-retractable cord all the time. This would make life so much easier for me!!
mikewet88 Apr 10, 2010 at 10:34 am
I have bold 9000 and Storm2 at this moment. Having 1 cable to fix both bb is really helpful!
mikelanding Apr 10, 2010 at 10:38 am
This looks sweet and would help me out a lot because This would help alleviate the jungle of wires I have all knotted up every time I leave the house.
kmorriss Apr 10, 2010 at 10:43 am
Between traveling, working from home and working in the office it would be great to just have one cable to keep up with. No more cables all over the desk when in the motel or when visiting the client sites.
DustBow Apr 10, 2010 at 11:07 am
much better than the longer cords all tied up to make them shorter
navygreengolf Apr 10, 2010 at 11:09 am
When I travel, it'll help me keep my laptop bag more organized as well as connecting my berry on the go!
lynnhou Apr 10, 2010 at 11:35 am
means less cords showing
dienamik Apr 10, 2010 at 11:58 am
A lot better then the standard cable for sure
hearmeoutx Apr 10, 2010 at 11:58 am
Having a retractable USB cable would be a lifesaver. Carrying my USB cable in my person is a real pain and I need it to back up files at school.
drtrask#CB Apr 10, 2010 at 12:07 pm
A retractable cable would help to reduce the endless clutter that seems to surround me.
wocampb Apr 10, 2010 at 12:17 pm
Cool....pick me please!
mgersten Apr 10, 2010 at 12:40 pm
This would help me travel much more easier.
motormatt15 Apr 10, 2010 at 1:06 pm
Pretty cool, would help to keep all the cables I have down to just one cable
nocaldawg#cb Apr 10, 2010 at 1:29 pm
Less tangles
Less Space
Mo betta Blackberry time!
lksell Apr 10, 2010 at 1:41 pm
These are wonderful cables and I need one again as my sons have my last set.
p072 Apr 10, 2010 at 1:43 pm
Would love to win one
bobbykun Apr 10, 2010 at 1:54 pm
this will be much easier to carry around instead of more loose wires
bladen Apr 10, 2010 at 1:57 pm
this would be really useful
terapins03 Apr 10, 2010 at 1:59 pm
I hate having my cables all over the place. This would be a great replacement!
bigbe Apr 10, 2010 at 2:04 pm
OMG something like this would so help my cable mess and help my area to look much better (and keep my wife quite)
firedroidguy Apr 10, 2010 at 2:47 pm
would be great to win once
stevosk8r Apr 10, 2010 at 2:47 pm
Like a world class bicyclist, being a road warrior at 260lbs with bag full wires, laptop, projector and luggage, every gram counts in this competitive economy, losing the weight and bulk of my regular sync cable could make me a winner.
Being able to charge both my tour and my new jawbone with one sleek, compact retractable cable, may give me the edge to speed through airports, reduce complexity in my life, and defeat business foes. It could possibly be the confidence booster that propels me from lower middle management to middle middle management. Bring it on!
jptr520 Apr 10, 2010 at 2:55 pm
This would be awesome to have! I hate tangled cords and always have to make sure I have zip ties around to bunch the excess cords!
BerSerX Apr 10, 2010 at 3:50 pm
a retractable cord would be much more convenient for work. especially when i'm in the field.
richw420 Apr 10, 2010 at 4:12 pm
Not only would this replace the charger that was stolen along with other important things from my car. But it would be a a better convenience when I go back and forth from home to college out of state, no more cords everywhere. Same with plugging it in with my other hookups at my apartment or home.
Gotta love all these giveaways you guys do CB! Please pick those who actually need these items, not someone who can go out and easily buy it without thinking about their financial problems.
S3QU3NC3 Apr 10, 2010 at 4:42 pm
CB IS THE BEST!!
longmi Apr 10, 2010 at 5:58 pm
I really need a retractible USB cable! I travel and the other USB cord is such a pain! If I won one, it would make my week! Besides, its tax time so I need something exciting!
Michelle (CPA who doesn't like taxes!)
joeragan Apr 10, 2010 at 6:07 pm
A retractable USB cable surely will be a great help for me who already overwhelmed with so many short and long cables connected to my laptop PC!
krustytheklown Apr 10, 2010 at 6:28 pm
this is a great idea. Kinda a no brainer
ridesno159 Apr 10, 2010 at 6:32 pm
Laptop + School + Work + Backpack + 9550 - Never being in the same place = Need for retractable cable
pretty simple math if you think about it... :)
RezaBerry Apr 10, 2010 at 6:36 pm
do you think I can win this?
steveg22 Apr 10, 2010 at 8:08 pm
:)
jogross6 Apr 10, 2010 at 8:37 pm
The usb cable i have is too bulky. I need a small one for traveling.
dkorda Apr 10, 2010 at 8:57 pm
This would allow me to keep all my electronic devices charged while on the road. The cool thing is this baby is super small, and easy to pack.
homestead#cb Apr 10, 2010 at 9:04 pm
This one would go in the briefcase. The old one would stay with the computer.
chayes995 Apr 10, 2010 at 9:17 pm
This would eliminate some mess of cables off of my desk. And also great for travel
wadema1 Apr 10, 2010 at 9:34 pm
I love new gadgets for my favorite toy, my 8530 !!!
sneakerhead503 Apr 10, 2010 at 9:46 pm
it would help me keep organized
cashlessplatypus#cb Apr 10, 2010 at 9:50 pm
I dont think my oversized backpack could hold anymore cords.
davidwipf Apr 10, 2010 at 10:02 pm
count me in
RemixedFantasy Apr 10, 2010 at 10:25 pm
WHOA! This is so sick. I've never thought charging a Blackberry could be so cool
yitzkorn Apr 11, 2010 at 12:33 am
Need to simplify, minimize. In addition, possible to keep in my pocket and help expand BB functionality.
u4rhea Apr 11, 2010 at 12:35 am
A retractable USB cord would really help to decrease the tangled web of cables on my desk.
mswain0783 Apr 11, 2010 at 1:20 am
I NEED THIS!!!!
Reklok Apr 11, 2010 at 1:39 am
it would help tons because my cable broke :(
inc188 Apr 11, 2010 at 1:40 am
its tiny so i can carry it arround... sweet giveaway
cheers
cg5278 Apr 11, 2010 at 1:40 am
Apart from having less mess on my computer desk if would make it easy for me to go to work carry small cord instead those long cords
GolfCB Apr 11, 2010 at 1:54 am
Nice- need a few less chargers in my life. Would be perfect!
pkang Apr 11, 2010 at 4:32 am
this would pack alot better than a bunch of cables thrown into a pocket of a bookbag and etc.
Jethro1984 Apr 11, 2010 at 5:18 am
This would be awesome as I have to carry my cable to work with me several days a week. Then I have to take it out of my work stuff if I need it at home. So not only would a small retractable cable be awesome for my work stuff....a backup would be super as well.
elite1 Apr 11, 2010 at 6:04 am
On the road, new OS released… and convenient retractable cable to pack with laptop? I win!
robynlnorris Apr 11, 2010 at 6:27 am
My desk is so crowded with cables. This would really help out!
mythai Apr 11, 2010 at 7:24 am
Thanks CB!!
firecop157 Apr 11, 2010 at 8:20 am
I need this cable. I'm constantly teathering my BB in my car to my laptop and this sure would help!! Hope i win!!
crazywabbit Apr 11, 2010 at 8:28 am
good multi-tasker
bbjunkie_1962 Apr 11, 2010 at 8:28 am
i am traveling often and always carrying a bag of cables with me, definitely need to switch to retractables
lions80#cb Apr 11, 2010 at 9:41 am
i'll take that
paulc14 Apr 11, 2010 at 11:06 am
To be able to retract a cable and not have it lying around would be wonderful.
DJ M-80 Apr 11, 2010 at 11:20 am
pick me plz
htam Apr 11, 2010 at 11:25 am
would love to have one
cedareden Apr 11, 2010 at 11:32 am
I don't think that having a retractable cord is going to change my life. If they haven't improved this setup since a few years ago when I had them for my Palm PDA and iPods and everything else, then I know it will just fail quickly by having a wire scraped bare.
So, if you think you can change my opinion, send me one and if it works and is improved, I might even write about it on PalmAddicts, where I am an Associate Writer.
Tiylaieomaat Apr 11, 2010 at 11:34 am
I travel all the time with my laptop and I believe that this would be great for when I am at the airport and such. Also, it would be great to avoid the bundle of wires I have to carry around all ready...
Huffdaddy1982 Apr 11, 2010 at 12:22 pm
to go with the retractable 3.5mm jack I just purchased!
EEB Apr 11, 2010 at 12:39 pm
Having to roll up my usb cord by hand and right now my usb cord broken.
obaquerizo Apr 11, 2010 at 12:41 pm
I normally help my friends with their blackberry issues, an normally i have lots off cables with me for faster use instead my friend take their cable out, so this will manage some space for me
lev874 Apr 11, 2010 at 12:43 pm
Its like trying to untangle x-mas lights everyday.
zeni Apr 11, 2010 at 2:30 pm
for a chance to win!
pino-chet Apr 11, 2010 at 2:54 pm
It would help me out because it's a much smaller package than the standand USB.
rvietheer Apr 11, 2010 at 3:37 pm
Sign me up. That would be awesome.
LoRes Apr 11, 2010 at 3:56 pm
I am in college and have troubles carrying my blackberry cords around without it being tangled in a big mess! This would really help organizing my calendar on the go and tethering it as a modem! I really hope I win!
camper223 Apr 11, 2010 at 4:13 pm
I'm hoping to win this for my oldest daughter and her husband to share this as they have blackberry's and are always on the go so something this convenient would be a awesome gift to them
Thank you for the chance
dlight57 Apr 11, 2010 at 5:47 pm
give it to me
dytaniguchi Apr 11, 2010 at 5:53 pm
This cord would eliminate loose mess in my car (I have a USB cigarette lighter adapter).
steve73089 Apr 11, 2010 at 5:53 pm
this would definitely help
rockys57 Apr 11, 2010 at 6:00 pm
Please let me win this!
batt2 Apr 11, 2010 at 6:03 pm
I love how it doesn't take up unnecessary space. The USB is just what I need to connect!
batt2 Apr 11, 2010 at 6:03 pm
It goes right to the point!!
onyxblack Apr 11, 2010 at 6:27 pm
Ridding myself of clutter is a joy! I'm not a neatnik but to not have to deal with a ton of cords when they're not in use is a great thing. More devices should have retractable cords.
evancomer Apr 11, 2010 at 6:31 pm
almost tripped and fell because of my data cable the other day. This woud be great!
beckerfj Apr 11, 2010 at 7:32 pm
This would totally help me because it'll be nice and compact and my wife won't complain about the clutter from cables!
bassmig Apr 11, 2010 at 8:41 pm
That would be wicked!
Blackfeet Apr 11, 2010 at 8:45 pm
Because? Isn't that what your parents always said when you asked why (you needed something)? Just because.
lowrider27 Apr 11, 2010 at 9:31 pm
I would love to have this!!
relkma Apr 11, 2010 at 10:38 pm
i use my blackberry at home and at work on multiple computers everyday. i run a retail/wholesale supply store and have a rental business at home. so needless to say this would very much come in handy to me! and with little ones at home - the long cords sometimes dont work out so well. please crackberry - i would love to win this one!
thanks - rob
Smurfy71 Apr 11, 2010 at 11:26 pm
My pocket needs one!
burton34 Apr 11, 2010 at 11:31 pm
