Will a generic Usb to micro usb data cable work or must it be specifically for a Mythic?

Haven't tried.
They aren't that much so you may want to give it a try.
I've used the eternity with a generic (but made for eternity) usb cable and it didn't
like to connect.

Did your mythic not come with one ?

I am not certain of the correct names for different connectors ...but ... I know that the eternity connection is different than the mythic. Have both phones in the family. And I know for a fact the mythic and flight are the same.  I believe the eternity is "probably" the same as the solstice, impression and that group of phones/hardware.

{______________}  eternity connection shape

Brainiak posted while I was typing, I had several razrs and believe it is in fact the same connection as the mythic. Probably a bunch of old razr cables & chargers around, maybe ask some friends.

M-dog - I know connectors are different , nice drawing though  Cheesy

I was saying I've used the "eternity" with a "generic" cable and the quality wasn't as good as an OEM.
Not that I've used eternity cable with mythic, lol.
I have both phones in family, actually have solstice and impression in family also. Wouldn't tell you
something like that  Smiley

thats why I put "(but made for eternity)"   Wink

My point was one of using Quality OEM sometimes has better connection than a generic, although there are
generic cables that are good.

Well just to clarify, the popular Razr phones (like razr v3) do not have the same connector as the mythic. I had the second generation of razr called the Razr2 v9 and they use the same connector as the mythic. I use the same charger and the cables, even though I got both with my mythic also.

The mythic and the razr2 uses the connector on the right in the image below. The old razr phones use the connector on the left.

Image below:
Mini USB on left
Micro USB on right (this is what we need).

Yeah, we have a bunch of cables & chargers from our razr days and there are two different connectors. I grabbed one and used it to charge my mythic, must have been pure luck as all the other ones in there are the  "mini" usb style.  As I never had a V9 I wonder how this "micro" usb charger got in with them Undecided Nice to have two AC chargers, regardless of where the second one originated from.

I'd trust the oem stuff more than aftermarket but there can be exceptions.
