    Charger with the pre and you can use the usb cablr eith your pc, the ac charger from RIM Blackberry 9630(tour)
    Works just fine cause they have same connection.

    yay for micro USB! my LG enV2 AC adapter charges too, tho I think it's .3 amps under what is "ideal." then again, USB charging is .5amps off, so it should be fine. voltages are the same w/in .1V.

    Unfortunately, it of course doesn't fit the touchstone. why palm, why'd you have to pull and Apple move with universal hardware and make it propriety-esque

    Cause they are following apple steps, palm employes lot of apple employees, and I kindof understand them, it generates $$ for the company, so its cool.

    But they are basically raping the consumers. $30 on top of the touchstone to power it? Crazy

    I concur for the blackberry chargers. I bought a micro-usb car charger from Best Buy and it wouldn't charge the Pre. We tried several chargers and finally the Blackberry charger worked very nicely.
