Sprint Diamond and HTC Mogul accessories - any compatibility?

Expecting my Sprint Diamond in a couple of days...
I have several Mogul accessories, extra wall chargers, one desktop cradle charger, car charger and a couple of USB sync/charging cables...

Does anyone have any idea if there is any compatibility with any of these accessories, or am I likely to have to buy more? I know the phone comes with a charger, sync cable, and auto/car charger, but I buy extra usually.

the diamond should use all the same accessories unless they changed the pin configuration inside the the connector

Yep, as long as it fits, it should work. Also, it doesn't come with a car charger.

Wow, even the desktop charger I have for my mogul? I assumed that would be one thing I'd definitly have to replace!

Should work just fine. Hell, my charger at home is one for a blackberry.

Cables and chargers will work. Cradle most likely not.

Ahhhh. Figured I'd need to find a new cradle, but that's ok if that's all I have to replace. Guess I should wait a few weeks to have a decent selection of cradles though.

They flipped the USB connector, as compared tothe Touch (non-Diamond). I have a cradle for the Touch, and if I wanted to plug my Diamond into it, I'd have to plug it in facing away from me. But it doesn't really matter, as it doesn't line up anyway. It's only out by a fraction of an inch.

I have been using all sorts of cables and chargers, without issue. Generic, my Garmin AC and car chargers, my Zune AC charger (takes a regular USB cable), etc. No problems with any of them. It does like the 1A chargers, as opposed to the 500mA provided by a regular USB charger, but other than a slower charging time, no issues.

On the other hand, the HTC cradle for the Diamond looks pretty darn snazzy... Now if we could only find them for the CDMA version...

I always wonder why Sprint mentions the "Battery Door" as an Accessory. They make it seem as if they don't usually come inclueded with the phone. Every phone I've purchased has "always" come with a battery door.
