I don't know, but I find it strangely coincidental that we're both having the same problem at the same time, and others too, apparently. I posted a question to alt.cellular.cingular to ask if anyone there, regardless of phone, is having a similar problem. > I'm still leaning toward 4Cast.

While USB +can+ supply power, it's a Bad Habit to use it as your charging source. It's supply of power is designed to power peripherals such as thumb drives, bar code scanners, and whatnot. > Actually, I'm more suspicious of the battery, but I don't know how > many of us with problems are using the Seidio 2400.
