Reply to above - the charger part

I had this issue while traveling a few days after buying the Q. I thought my trusty BB charger would handle it. It didn't. I ended up stopping at a VZW store to buy a car charger. Further investigation reveals the answer: the BB chargers put out up to .5 amps, the Q charger puts out .85 amps. So the BB charger doesn't give enough juice to charge the phone. Don't ask me why USB charging works, my BB cable charges the Q just fine. But it does, so that is how I have it at my office, the car charger in the car (where else), and the A/C charger at home.

Oh yeah, just got the 3200 battery from Seidio today. It is a small brick, but once I power cycle it a few times, I won't have to worry about the chargers much.

The Q rocks.
