All the newer Sanyo phones have the same port. Future Dial makes the cables
and Radio Shack sells them for less.

I just got this phone last week, got the cable from Radio Shack (as
well as the FutureDial SnapSync/SnapDialer combo pack. SnapSync alone
was well worth the purchase, as I have a LOT of phone numbers to
transfer. I'll never do that through the phone interface again!

There were some discounts involved because I bought my phone, cable
and software all at once and upgraded my service plan to include
Sprint PCS Vision as well. I paid $17.99 for the cable and $33.59 for
the software. The regular retail price at Radio Shack was $22.49 and
$41.99, respectively.

I'm not too worried about the cost of my software, as it's a business
expense for me (my cell phone is my small business phone). It's done
everything it claimed to do, and at the time (and even now in
retrospect) it was worth it.

However, now that I have imported all my numbers I do agree that it is
a bit lacking in functionality. I like BitPim's claim that it will
let me access other parts of the phone's memory. I'll give it a try.

Thanks again.

Thank you, John, for the link to BitPim. I used BitPim on Mac OS X to
get the entire address book on my old Sanyo 4900 and send it to the new
Sanyo 8200. Works like a champ!

(In case anyone else tries working with BitPim on a Sanyo 4900, the
phone is "SCP 4900" in the BitPim menu... If you try "RL 4920" thinking
it's close enough, it will fail.)
