I have a Motorola mini usb phone charger and I bought a micro usb adapter for it. It charges my 350. As a backup, I bought a Merkury Motorola phone charger on clearance that was mini usb with a micro adapter included. It also charges my 350.

I started experimenting with the adapters and found that with the Merkury micro adapter, I can use a standard mini usb cable and a wall wart to charge. It also charges from the computer but does not show the device, so no data transfer. I found this amazing since the Sony cable that came with the 350 will not charge on a wall wart. I also verified it worked on 2 different 350s.

The Motorola adapter does not charge with the usb cable to the wall wart, but with a usb cable to computer shows the device, charges and data transfer.

The nicest thing about these adapters is they are so small and a great alternative to carrying multiple chargers and cheap.
