That will work with the standard charger. I like the idea of a desktop charger, but $100 for the OEM seems a bit much…

Take a look at this one. Not as expensive, but I think it is possibly the same one they used for the 87XX and 71XX series.

BlackBerry - >> 8100 - Desktop Cradles

That looks ok but I'd rather have on that charges from the contacts on the back (and does not have to be plugged into the phone)...

I agree - I just don't like cradles that I have to "plug-in" my phone. Just not a cradle to me if you can't drop your phone/PDA in and be able to charge/sync. If I have to plug it in there's no difference between this cradle and the regular USB charger plugged in, and the 8100 propped up against a book/monitor/cubicle wall/whatever!! I would also love a cradle that charges and syncs from the back contacts (if that's even possible).
