I'd suggest a visit to your local Verizon Wireless store. You might
also try e-Bay.

Suggest that you ask at your local VZW store. They should know or know
how to find out and they should be able to order one if they don't have
it in stock.

Not so much "what is?" as "where to find?" Answers to the latter include
Amazon, eBay, Staples, Radio Shack (some web, some local store-fronts).
Or, ask froogle.google.com for the pricing picture.

HTH. Cheers, -- tlvp

It is just a mini USB connection IIRC, so Google that.

About �5 in the UK, probably $5 in the colonies.

The cable won't do anything useful until you plug it into a power
source! I think the OP is asking for the proper "wall wart" to charge
his phone.

I think the Verizon Wireless store is probably a good place to start
looking. If they don't have it in stock, they should be able to order it.

Yes, a wall art to charge the phone.

Hmm, OK. Weird that Verizon would sell one for Motorola and T-Mobile.

Suggest that you ask your service provider if they offer such a thing.

Well, Verizon sells Motorola phones! That enough reason to offer
accessories as well. I've never dealt with T-Mobile but if they also
sell Motorola phones. . . .

That IS including the charger; just a USB A to mini USB cable would be a
dollar or less!

Look i have done it for you this time: -

I think your local "five and dime" would be a better place...

It might be cheaper! Better? I doubt it. These days the world is
almost paved with wall warts. Each one is designed to work into a
specified load. The specification may be AC or DC, and anywhere from
1.5 Volts to 24 volts or more. The wrong one could fail to work, damage
your phone, or both. It's also possible that you could get lucky.
I wouldn't want to bet my phone on it!

Do read the USB spec' there's a good chap...


"
The USB 1.x and 2.0 specifications provide a 5 V supply on a single wire
from which connected USB devices may draw power. The specification provides
for no more than 5.25 V and no less than 4.75 V (5 V±5%) between the
positive and negative bus power lines. For USB 2.0 the voltage supplied by
low-powered hub ports is 4.4 V to 5.25 V.[36]

A unit load is defined as 100 mA in USB 2.0,

"

etc.

Guess why it is now the standard for all mobile phones?
