where can i get one? i need one more for my car charger. i tried to search in ebay and the other sites but the picture shows a micro usb cable. which is different.
If you have a car charger from a G2 or any similiar they all work on the Amaze. The amaze added the bottom part of the plug to add stability otherwise it is exactly the same and works also with the computer . Save yourself some money buy a 6 dollar one on the street. It only has to match the g2 or g2x. T-mobile will never tell you this because the new connector will make them tons of money.

Umm that's not true at all. We don't sell the "proprietary" charger in the stores so there's no way for T-Mobile to make any extra money. For that phone, like any other phone, the option for any additional chargers would just be the universal chargers that we've always carried. Haven't had any word saying otherwise.
Yes, just to clarify. I was a bit confused at first as well. It is Micro USB that is compatible, not Mini USB. Those are two different things. [Only registered users can view links. ]
After I got my Amaze a few days ago, I tried a regular Micro USB cable to plug into my computer. It charges the phone, but it does not engage the data transfer function and windows says that this device is unrecognizable. If I plug it in with the HTC cable, everything is good.
Also, I tried to plug this regular micro-usb cable into one of the USB to wall socket adapters for the iPhone but it does nothing, no charging. I would be interested in hearing others' experiences.

I called HTC and asked for the name/part number so I could order an additional cable. They ended up mailing me one for free. Item# 73H00389-11M. Description: Accessory Cable, Black, Micro USB (5/12 Pin) Cable W/ CE_htclabel, Black LLDPE, FOXLINK, 6691-1047-0283

Interesting, could you post a picture of the connector so we can see? Is it a typical Micro USB connector or the HTC varient that comes with the phone?

FYI, HTC Tech support told me he wouldn't recommend using cables not designed for the phone, meaning "typical Micro USB connectors" even though it would work. I asked why? He basically told me the phone shipped with the cable designed for the phone. I can send you pics of both cables, but it is the same one that comes with the phone, unless you just want to look at it anyway. Also this a copy of the packing slip.
