Out of necessity, I learned on Friday that you can charge your Motorola phone with nothing more than a USB cord and a computer. This certainly isn't news to a lot of people out there, but it is a big help when you're about to go out of town for a weekend wedding, and you realize you've left your charger at the office.
I simply used the USB cord that came with my Canon SD1000 camera, plugged it into the usual charging port at the base of my Motorola v325i, and it began charging. However, make sure your phone is turned on before connecting it, or else the charge doesn't seem to take.
A few caveats, it seemed to charge somewhat slower than with the standard AC adapter, but in a pinch, who cares. Also, there were a few hiccups locating the appropriate driver, but with some quick research, I was able to solve the problems. This seems to work for most Motorola phones, including the RAZR, and I guess it probably will also work for any other phone that has a USB-style plug.
