OEM Cingular 8525 wall charger?

Since I've come back from vacation, I've noticed that my wall charger for my Cingular 8525 has become a little worn. If it gets twisted the wrong way or isn't sitting in a certain position, the charger fails to charge the phone. Since it appears AT&T has discontinued this device, I can no longer find an OEM wall charger from the AT&T website. I resorted to looking around on eBay and found some non-OEM replacements for around $5 with shipping, but I'm unsure if such chargers are good for the phone considering my OEM one has a significantly larger power brick than most of the ones that I have seen that are non-OEM.

Does anyone know where I can get a true OEM charger, or should it be safe to buy one of these non-OEM chargers?

You could also use a compatible (read, 5 prong) USB data cable and a generic USB wall charger.

I have seen them at some AT&T/Cingular Stores. Might be worth calling a few in your area.
It is also similar to and you could have success at a T-Mobile store with an adapter for a MDA Vario II

Failing that the kind folks at HTC could also suggest a substitute for an HTC Hermes device. All the following are similar to the 8525.
HTC TyTN / O2 Xda Trion / T-Mobile MDA Vario II / Vodafone 1605 VPA Compact III / Orange SPV M3100 / HTC & CHT 9000 / i-mate JASJAM / Dopod 838 Pro / NTT DoCoMo & HTC Z / Qtek 9600 / Cingular 8525 / AT&T 8525 / Swisscom XPA v1605 / SoftBank X01HT / Vodafone PDA 1605 / Vodafone PDA 9600 / Era MDA Vario II
