I have some Gomadic "tips" that are charge-only.
This one looks like a charge-only micro-usb tip:
TIP-0000-69

Gomadic cables definitely aren't cheap, but they are handy when you have many different devices (most of mine are mini-usb, but my wife has many different manufacturers).

I use my charge-only mini-usb tips with one of the motorola mini-micro adapters to charge my n900 with battery packs/outlets/etc.
