My Motorola Cell phone is very 'finicky' when it comes to battery charging 'in the phone with a 3rd party device' but not this one. It works great. I had a new battery that I ran down and after a lot of cranking I got another bar on the battery indicator.

It's for emergency and do not expect to completely charge the battery. In use you would crank it for 5 min and have about 5 min (depends on how your phone is set up) 5 min of emergency talk time. Since you're charging the phone battery you should be able to take a break. I would have the phone 'OFF' so all the charge went to the battery. I would hate to crank this for 5 to 10 min then have a 'spammer' call me using up battery power.

I do NOT understand why the cranking LED is red. Personally I would prefer white and if really desperate have a crank flashlight to use as well as a phone charger.

It works and fits in a small palm.

The BEST safety is to have a spare charged battery but this does work.

This charger works....but don't expect it to work quickly. After over 30 minutes of charging my phone only stayed on for a few minutes, enough to make an emergency call, but not enough to do anything else.

Does exactly what it says. I have a 8 year old Nokia mobile phone for emergency use. Because I rarely use that phone, I often forget to charge it. So soon after getting this charger I had occasion to use it. And it worked great -- gave the phone enough of a charge to make a short call.

If Amazon ever gets it back in stock I will buy a few more to give as "peace-of-mind" gifts to my family.

I bought this while I was in Fort Lewis Washington last November... I thought it would come in handy-of course keep in mind I bought mine from a military store that got their version from CrossTac-I thought this would be a useful device in case of emergency I'd have a quick phone charge when I need it. When I bought it the thing only came with 4 adapters... None of them worked with my phone so I was very displeased and now that I am back from my deployment in Iraq I want this thing operational... Bleh. So other than that it seems to work fine as the LED that shines when your spin the crank burns my eyes. So I know that works I just wish I could speak about how well it charges phones...

A very similar item I bought charges my cell phone, but not my iPod touch. Not a big deal for me, but if you have an iPhone you might want to reconsider.
