The chargers supplied by Motorola for both my RAZR and the H500
Bluetooth headset are identical. I am able to charge my eXplorist 400
from my laptop via the data/power cable, but I don't know if I can
charge the RAZR from the laptop with the phone to computer USB cable I
bought with the software to download pictures, ringtones, etc., from the
phone to the computer.
Quite possible, but I don't have any real reason to try it.
