5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent car charger for ipods/iphone 3g and other devices!!!, March 19, 2009

Hi All,

So I had an interesting situation one lighter socket and 2 devices to charge. One iPhone 3g and a Blackberry Javelin 8900. I use both and thus they both need to be charged at some point during my long 2 hour commutes.

The belkin charger has two usb ports on it...one for regular trickle charging and one quick charge port (a little more amps on the quick charge). I had to test this Quick method and thus took my nearly dead blackberry and plugged it into the quick charger...sure enough it charged up to full in about 30 minutes...where it would take about 1 hour under normal circumstances on a normal charger.

With my iPhone 3G I was a little scared/cautious and thus used the regular charging port to plug into it. It worked fine. The iPhone went to charging immediately and had no signs of errors etc....some accessories have issues with iPhone 3g and I can CONFIRM that this Charger WORKS perfectly.

The box includes a usb to apple connector cable for ipods/iphones etc and a usb to mini-usb for usb based charging devices. The color is BLACK as can be seen here....the finish is glossy.

I now have 2 of these for both cars and I could not be happier. For what is included at this price point...it is a MUST Buy.

5/5

5.0 out of 5 stars (appears to be) A very Intelligent Charger, May 11, 2009

Please ignore my review unless you know a little about electronics and USB.

I haven't done any current tests or analyzed the USB signal (there's supposed to be a signal to enable 1A charging on a device), but I have taken the charger apart. Each USB port has dedicated connections (even ground). Other USB hubs/ports I've looked at hook all of the power connections together. This leads me to assume Belkin has dedicated power management per USB port.

Other than that, it's a charger. It charged a 4th gen Nano, a 3G iPhone, and Blackberry Pearl just fine.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for iPhone & BlackBerry!, February 12, 2009

I got this because it comes with both an iPod/iPhone charging cable and a mini-USB charging cable, and both can be used at the same time. Since my wife has a 3G iPhone and I have a BlackBerry Bold which uses the mini-USB connection, we can charge our phones at the same time in the car. And if any phone needs it, it's the iPhone! The best part is that this is $10 less than the same item at the Apple Store. Thanks Amazon!
