Hi,

I finally found one here [1] + adapter [2] for EU power outlets for less than EUR 5 (no shipping fees).
I could completely (i.e. 100%) charge my second Freerunner battery with this charger.

Afterwards the following worked for me with SHR unstable 23/05/2009:
 * plug in USB
 * powerdown GSM
 * change battery
 * powerup GSM (needed to reenter PIN)

Cheers,
 Christian
