Data Cables

Got a question for anybody who might know...I'm looking for a data cable for my Audiovox CDM 9900 so I can use it as a modem for my laptop. I've searched a few places, and generally I've seen them for about $40, like here: http://www.cellphonemall.net/wireles...84&phoneid=485

BUT

I found another place selling what they claim to be an "OEM" cable for $19.99, here: http://www.globalunlock.com/audiovoxcable.htm

AND

I found one here that doesn't look like the other two, and it costs $89.99: http://www.mycellphonegear.com/474674.html

My question is, are these three cables the same thing, and why are the prices so drastically different? If I buy the cheap one, will it work? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

make sure you buy a cable that is straight USB. Stay away from serial port cables, or cables that have a serial>usb converter built in. data cables range in different prices because some probably come with software and others dont. id buy an Oem cable from audiovox to insure that it will work properly, and find the software to run the phone online to download.
