So I left my charger at work, I didn't feel like getting into my office on a Saturday So... I just shoved in a mini USB cable and guess what? it fits! lol...

I'm not sure if the plugs look the same across all brands but it definitely fits on the Vzw version. this might be OLD news but... thought I'd share.

I'll be nice to the guy! USB is USB no matter what brand you talk about. It's a standard. The voltages and the connectors are standard. You can take an iPod charger, replace the cable with one you got with the TP and your phone will start charging. Or you can use a Razr or Blackberry charger. That will work too.

for a much needed laugh, i should hit the "THANKS" button.

Also, you can touch the screen and it totally selects the button under your finger. If I helped you, click "Thanks!"

Welcome aboard, jucytec.

I would be more interested if there is a battery-powered (like AA batteries) device that can charge TP so can use it for long flight or trip.

Here's a constructive post to this thread and to inform the OP:

Yes, you can charge using a regular mini-USB but the charger that comes specifically with the Touch Pro charges at 1A instead of 500mA. So just to caution you that if you use your regular miniUSB cable that it won't be able to charge as fast if you are using a regular mini USB cable while talking on the phone and you'll eventually drain the phone's battery.

See now this should have been what this Thread should have been right off the bat. You rock.
