Has anyone found a cradle for the Touch that uses a Mini-USB rather than the standard USB plug?

Why do i ask? I'd like to use the HTC Y-Cable to be able to use my handsfree when the phones in the cradle and have charging/sync at the same time.

The shop is in Poland, but I think that in other countries should also have

Looks like its the standard Cradle using the regular USB plug, but thanks for that anyway.

Ok my bad, seems I was using the wrong term altogether.
Here's a photo of the two mini-usb types of plugs you can get:

(from Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTC_ExtUSB) entry about HTC ExtUSB).

The one on the right is the standard mini-usb type socket that just about all Cradles/Sync Cables/Power adapters come with. However to use the Handsfree or headphones capability of the Touch you need the ExtUSB type of plug as shown on the left.

So what I'm looking for is a cradle that has the ExtUSB type of plug that will allow me to then plug in the y-cable to use the headphones wille charging/syncing it at the same time.

You can use this:

Although this wont allow you to connect to the cradle, but only charge with cable..
