There were different animals, giraffe was for one brand, lion, bear, etc. I think they might have been different colors…I think they were used to wipe or clone phones… anyone remember these? Early 2000’s…(before 2010)

I was heavy into phineas during that time, but no recollection. I was on the cutting edge side of buying, selling, and nodding though, so unless it was built by HTC (Palm Treo was) I didn't use it. I swapped to Samsung sometime after or around 2010.
I don't recall the cable for Palm, Windows Mobile, Windows phone, or android. No experience woyh non-smart phones.

My 1st smart phone was a Nokia E71 in 2007-8. I do recall seeing the animal stickers but thats about it. Next corporate company was all Blackberry and I stayed there until 2013 or so.

Still miss those.

Still RIM was always a low end phone manufacturer. If it wasn't for BES they'd never been more than a blip. I don't recall all the specifics from back that far, but the fact no one else had reliable push notifications was HUGE.

What would you possibly need the cable for? A phone that age is at best 3G GSM. The cable you're describing sounds more like the phone was a feature phone, so probably not even 3G. Early 2000 could be GAIT, TDMA. GSM, or even CDMA.
