in theory you shouldnt need the sync software becuase windows should find the device and be able to charge it. now there are 2 different kind of cables, the one the phone came with charges and syncs and then there are cables that will just sync. so if you bought a secondary cable make sure it has the charging capabilities.

the phone doesnt actually have any software 'drivers' per-say to allow the phone to be recognized...active sync isnt horrible to load on a computer...you can give it a shot
