You are welcome!

Personally, I feel the cradle stand should be included with all BlackBerries, but it's not always included with all the carriers.

You really don't need the charger except when travelling or when you're away from the computer. I don't even own a charger for my BlackBerry. That's what I like about MiniUSB, you have the choice. In fact, I can even use a Digital Camera MiniUSB charger on the BlackBerry, and it will charge the BlackBerry. It's all the same voltage, and safe, because MiniUSB is guaranteed to always be 5 volts. And you can easily buy a cheap $5 cable for your laptop from a computer store if you forget your charger while travelling! Or hunt down a replacement MiniUSB charger, even one not designed for BlackBerry.

This board attracts a wide audience. We all have some high-level readers including RIM employees (maker of BlackBerry) as well as big Fortune500 executives reading this board, so we have to be careful about language!
