Motorola is just covering their butt over Li-ion charging problems cause by cheap chargers - and probably batteries. Unfortunately, they took a very stupid approach. Several chip companies have recently introduced specific power control chips that go in the phone - where they belong - to handle unsafe chargers and pirate batteries. With these in the phone out-of-spec chargers and batteries become a moot point. My feelings on the matter - if a company has a dumb product, don't buy it!
