Who can identify this USB connector?

    Does anyone have a name/model number for this USB connector?
    Or even know a device (cell phone etc) that uses it?

    It's from an i-gotu GPS. I want to buy a spare one, but I can't find any locally. (only in the UK, with silly shipping prices)

    Thanks Dynashox, I've seen them. But postage is $15! I'll get one if I have to, but I was hoping the connector might also be on some cell phones... so I could just pick up a $3 lead from DX or something.

    Don't know if the connector is available on other devices or not. Seems like a proprietary USB connector to me.

    It's called Fast Port connector. The pin used on Sony Ericsson's phone is different from the image above.
