But some of the problems have been with Dell cradles, so while the charge'n'sync cables are some of the bad boys, the rest of the problems probably stem from weak USB power supplies, poor overcurrent protection and the high draw from the X50 when the battery is depleted. I would recommend that any NEW user first charge the unit with the Dell power supply and the little connector, and only when the battery is fully charged try it in the cradle. That approach should minimize the power draw through the USB port.
