Accessories Questions....

[Flibmeister]

Just picked up my Alltel Diamond on Thursday, I'm an old guy with my first smartphone, so please be gentle with me.

From what I've read, the Alltel version of the Diamond specs out identically to the Sprint version, so I'm assuming accessories for the Sprint version will work with my Alltel unit-- please correct me if I'm wrong!

1. Best source for a spare battery?

2. Best source for a cradle/charger than can charge that spare battery outside of the phone?

3. Is the USB charging cable proprietary? It looks almost like a mini-USB but isn't-- I've got a few AC adapters with USB ports, so where can I get a couple of spare cables that will work?

4. Best source for a car charger?

5. I like a pouch type case (like I said, I'm an old guy, I don't care if I look like a nerd with it on my belt), but I'd like one with a magnetic latch. Recommendations?

6. I already goobered the screen protector that came with the phone-- are new ones available anywhere yet?

Thanks in advance for the info-- reading the posts here were very helpful in deciding what smartphone to get, and while I wouldn't dream of trying some of the hacks you guys do (I KNOW I'd brick the phone first time out), I have nothing but admiration for those of you with the skills and knowledge to use them!
