By the pictures they look the same...anyone know if I can pickup a sprint 6700/cingular 8125 cradle for the 8525?

sorry for the bump, still trying to find out.

do they also use the same battery? ie - could i goto sprint and buy a cradle and battery for the 8525?

tried fitting my 8525 into an 8125's cradle
no luck, the usb port of the 8525 is off center, perhaps with a more universal cradle you'd have some luck. an expensive but safe alternative is to go to htcphonestore.com and get some tytn specific accessories

Nope, it won't work. The USB connector is towards the left on the 6700 cradle and the USB port is towards the right on the 8525.

I am going to do the same. It appears they have two types of cradles. One is the HTC expensive one that looks identical to the 6700 (except for the USB connector being towards the right) and an OEM one that doesn't have a place to charge an extra battery, but it's a lot cheaper (http://www.mobileplanet.com/p.aspx?i=139718). I would like two cradles; one for home and one for the office. I was thinking of ordering one of each.

I ordered this one: http://www.mobileplanet.com/p.aspx?i=143228

thats the official 8525 cradle w/ a 2nd battery slot...but its not stock, says they expect more in 8 days

I also ordered an extra battery & a pouch case from them

Yup, that's the official HTC cradle. I am also looking for a pouch case. Is this the one you ordered: http://www.mobileplanet.com/p.aspx?i=138210? I think it's the one that comes with the TYTN (the one Cingular was too cheap to give us). Have you seen it in person or better pictures of it? I was thinking of ordering it too, but I can't tell if the sides are exposed (like the case that came with my 6700), or if there is a cut out on the bottom to help remove the 8525 from the case.
