"The port on the bottom of the HTC Touch Diamond and nearly all HTC devices is called an EMU connection. EMU stands for ENHANCED MINI USB. Basically, this port is a combination of a Mini USB B 5pin connector and a 3.5mm headphone jack. While this is technically proprietary, ANY AND ALL usb mini b 5pin connectors will work and be able to charge and transfer data to the device. Certain people seem to have difficulty understanding this."
