In short, it doesn't maintain a data connection. PDAnet will disconnect after seconds or minutes, if it successfully connects to begin with. Transferring files means corrupt files, should they make it at all. The male usb end of the keyfob looks to be the culprit, being a poorly-shaped plastic square. Bordering the top edge of the plug is a tall lip of plastic that probably shouldn't be there and is responsible for the alarming difficulty of plugging it in. I worry that I'm going to break the usb port on my laptop, it's that tight a squeeze. I want to shave that off but considering I paid $20 for this thing, I'm just going to ask for a replacement or refund.

Can anyone recommend a compact cable that definitely allows for data with the Evo? I try to bring as little as possible with me to work and want to keep it that way.
