Just got this new v325i from Verizon. To my surprise, neither Verizon or
Motorola seems to be selling a desktop cradle for charging this battery.
This makes having a spare battery kind of pointless. I frequently talk for
2-4 hours per day, and having a charged spare battery is a real plus.

I'm thinking there might be another Motorola cradle around that will charge
this battery. I don't care if it fits the phone or not, just the battery.
Anybody know of one? They currently sell 2 different cradles, will this
battery slip into one of them?

The phone came with the "slim" battery, SNN5267A, 880 mAh. I see Motorola
lists several similar battery numbers as being compatible with this phone.
It has the 4 contacts at the top of the battery, near the left side.
(looking at the battery from the back)

Any assist would hugely appreciated.
