You need a mini USB cable so that you can connect the phone to a pc to charge via the USB port.

The original SPV does not use a mini USB :P it uses a multipin socket which was used on the Ipaq and XDA (for some strange reason the pinouts were aparently reversed for the SPV though)

You can convert the cradle to by jumping pins, there is a guide on the site but unfortunately I can not remember the pinouts offhand.

EDIT here's two of the few remaining links regarding the modification ;)

It's also worth removing the charger socket or blanking it off to save plugging in the charger by mistake and causing possible problems with your pc ;)
