Nice for charging, bad for data.

Pros:This item has a small size, which is nice.The retractable feature also avoid snarling of the cable. Not sure if it would last long if constantly kept in a bag, though.It is indeed the new standard micro-USB plug at one end, poised to replace the mini-USB. (And it is the ubiquitous USB-A at the other end).
Cons:When unfolding the retractable cable, it sometime retracts when you would like it not to.But biggest cons, data transfer worked a few times, but doesn't work anymore. Still useful to charge the phone, but this is less than expected.
Bottomline:Don't expect too much from it.

Works buy bad build quality

Pros:The normal usb end connect works great. It works when connected. The retractable cord works fine. If you only need to use the cable a couple of times, it would be a good purchase.
Cons:Very bad build quality on the micro usb end. Everything else about the cable is great. The micro usb end broke within the first week of use. The micro usb end is also too big. The size limits the number of phones it can be connected.
Other Thoughts:
Bottomline:With bad construction on the micro usb end of the cable, I can not recommend buying this cable. There are many other cables that have a similar price, but are built much better.

Pros:It works in the Nokia 3120 Classic (data only, does not work with power as expected). It works the same as the CA-101, except it is better since it is retractable.It allows the Nokia 3120 Classic to be firmware upgraded.It allows proper access to all the data functions (e.g. address book sync, calendar, etc). Using Bluetooth, address book sync doesn't work so the cable is vital to back everything up. It includes special locking nubs unique to micro-USB to stop the cable falling out accidently. This is one of the advantages of micro-USB over mini-USBCable is thicker than other retractable cables, so it is very good build quality.Being retractable it is neat and tidy and very small.
Cons:It is a bit hard to put in and pull out of the Nokia 3120 classic. However this is probably the way micro-USB is meant to work - it won't fall out accidently.
Other Thoughts:Don't let your kids play with it or they could pull the end points off. It's not indestructible although it'll survive a bit of pulling.
Bottomline:You should get it if you have a Nokia 3120 classic or other phone that needs a micro-USB cable, such as almost all the new phones designed in China. You'll need it eventually anyway so get it while its hot.
