Useless for Blackberry,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Amzer Handy Converter Mini-USB Connector to Micro-USB Charger (Black) (Wireless Phone Accessory)
Simply put, when used with my Blackberry 8900, this adapter did not work at all. The Blackberry was not recognized by the PC or the Blackberry Desktop Manager software, nor would it charge from the USB port. Would test this adapter with other devices, but I don't have any other micro USB gadgets. So for Blackberry users, don't bother.

Mine stopped working the fist time i used it with my kindle, and since i'm traveling for 4 months I had to go out and spend twice as much in a foreign country for a similar and more durable piece.

Good construction, but without data it is far less valuable than a small cable converter, such as the Motorola.

**update***
The adapter that is pictured here is not the same one that I bought and reviewed several months ago. ***end update*** This adapter will allow you to connect a mini USB charger to your device with a micro USB port. However, that's all it will do, and there are better alternatives. There is another mini-to-micro adapter, by Startech (Micro USB To Mini USB 2.0 M/f Adapter), that Amazon also sells, which is much better. I have one of each. This adapter has a poorly made connectors on both ends, but particularly the micro USB plug, which doesn't connect snugly to my device(an Android phone). Also, this adapter is longer than the Startech adapter, and it will fall out of my phone if I pick the phone up. By comparison, the Startech adapter is shorter and has better fitting connectors at both ends. Also, the Startech adapter passes power and data, while this one only passes data. You may never need the data capability, but why pay more (or even the same) for a more poorly constructed device with less functionality? The main difference between the mini and micro USB connectors (aside from their size) is that micro USB connectors have the springs that keep the connector firmly attached in the plug, and mini USB connectors have them in the jack. When the springs fail after many connect/disconnect cycles, it's a lot more cost-effective to replace the plug (on the end of a charger or sync cable, or one of these adapters) than it is to replace the jack (which is built into the device: cell phone or camera or MP3 player). That being said, there's really no excuse for the poor quality micro USB connector in the Amzer device. Perhaps some samples have a better connector (other reviewers of this adapter have commented that it fits snugly in their device), but mine is definitely substandard.

I use this as an adapter so I can charge my Mifi on the go. It works just fine and fits snugly.

Works as advertised. Case is hard plastic, not molded so the connector shell does have play but it does not feel in imminent danger of breaking.
