Hmmm, this is the first I've heard of the charging cable not physically fitting the phone. The phone should *not* have a standard miniUSB input, but instead a modified one. When holding the phone with the screen facing up the left side of the port on the phone should be perfectly vertical, but the right side should be at an angle at the bottom of the port and then go completely vertical half way up. I'll try a little ASCII art here: _____ | | |__/
A 'normal' miniUSB port has sides that are mirror images of itself and look roughly like the right side of the port on the Dev Phone 1, albeit a little less perfectly angular. A 'normal' miniUSB cable will work with the Dev Phone 1, but a Dev Phone 1 specific cable will *not* work with a 'normal' miniUSB port. Based on your description I wonder if your phone has a 'normal' miniUSB port instead of the custom one and you've got a wall charger with the custom connector, as it should have. If you can provide some more information on your connector configurations that would be great.
