Does the iPhone indicate that it's charging when your mini is asleep?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Yeah, I've now popped it in the cradle charger. The charge bar has jumped up a bunch, but now it feels like it's stalled again, though that may just be me staring at the kettle, going "boil, boil, boil, boil....."

I don't know, Tom, I was asleep!
Less sarcastically: When I woke up the mini this morning, the phone lit up, and made its happy little "I'm charging!" bleep, so that's the closest I can get to giving an answer to that question at the moment. I can probably give a better answer by tomorrow.

I'd say use the cable and a/c charger if you want to charge overnight. For me, I sit at the computer while watching TV, so I plop it in the cradle then, and it charges by the time I crawl into bed.

If it were already charging, it wouldn't need to make the beep.

Yeah, now that I've walked away from the iPhone, it has charged up pretty much all the way now. Okay, cradle charger for charging over night, and until I get over the shininess of it, carry that cradle charger with me at all times.

I'm transferring all the media off the old razr phone. Considering how much I scoffed at "my phone has a camera, shouldn't a phone be a phone", I sure did take a LOT of pictures with it.
So, a question. My old razr, it's with Cingular. It has the SIM card in it. If I try and sell it, I should take the SIM card, right? And is it "unlocked" or "locked" Not sure what the difference is.

Oh, yeah. I guess I don't need to carry the cradle.
And I think "unlocked" means "doesn't have a SIM card in it," but I could be wrong about that.

your phone is LOCKED. It is cingular branded. Technically, the only people who could use your phone currently are cingular/att wireless people. If you want to let all kinds of people use it, you need to go to a cingular store and get it unlocked (although you might have to call cingular to get it unlocked). I think it takes a few days before you get the unlock code.
If you are selling your phone, erase all the data on your phone (which is more than the SIM card): [link]
