They clearly separate the Sprint and Verizon versions of this cradle, saying that one is not compatible with the other, which confirmed my suspicion that each carrier has a different USB pinout.
However, the unit from Daydeal (1 post up) is labeled Sprint/Verizon, and we have one data point from Robodoc82 that it works with Sprint.
What's the real story on these cradles? Are they Sprint/Verizon interchangeable?

It's the placement of the USB ports, Sprint's has its to the left while the GMS version is centered. Could probably use the one you had (if you had one) from your TP.

nakedcellphone also has several extended batteries - make sure you get the right version - they have different batteries and cradles for cdma vs gsm

Ok, I plugged the HTC-supplied TP2 cable into the same (front) USB port that has always worked for my Fuze, and which still works fine for my Zune, and I only got a 1/4 charge overnight! Went from 23 to 45%.
However, the computer was in standby the whole time. Does the USB port deliver even less juice in standby than when the computer is running? It is strange to me that I am only discovering this limitation with the TP2 and never had any issues before.
Well, if I want to charge and sync without unplugging cables, it looks like I need to get a powered USB hub.
