Does the X50v use the same cable connector as the X3/X30??

If not, is anyone selling them yet?

No, it does not. I also haven't seen any X50 accessories around except for the Rhinoskin case.

I am sure that compagnies will want to get into the hype of the X50 and start making parts available very soon. We will probably see these before Chrismas.

any reason you couldn't get a USB bluetooth dongle and just sync over that? Does a USB sync cable offer benefits over bluetooth? I don't have my x50v yet (should get here tomorrow), but I was hoping that I could just use the bluetooth to sync.

- Bluetooth is slower than USB
- Can't use Bluetooth to get power from a cigarette lighter in my car (I used my iPAQ 4150 in my car for GPS and had a USB sync-n-charge cable hooked up to a cigarette adapter).

Zip-Linq plans on having them available soon. They emailed me saying just waiting for the pin-outs and connector specs from Dell.

Might not hurt to send them email - http://www.ziplinq.com

My whole setup is from them through TigerDirect.com - phone charger, X30 Sync&charge, USB car plug and USB wall adapter :approve:
