We just got confirmation that the external chargers have shipped to us. These are the chargers that have a battery slot so you may charge a battery independent of the unit as well as have a USB port to plug a handset into for charging.
I know some people are not fans of a cradle but I like to keep my desk void of random wires. Does anyone know if a charging synch cradle is available or in the works?
The external charger will kick the battery into gear faster than the USB-to-PC route. In fact if the battery is completely gone the USB-to-PC method won't charge the battery.
The external should have a 100% in 4 hours. 80% in about 90-120 minutes.
