1.0 out of 5 stars Did not work with my iPhone 3G, September 10, 2008

I bought this product since it advertised as compatible with my 3G iPhone. To my dismay, I took it on a trip and found that it does not work. The only time it would charge is when the 3G iPhone was completely drained... the charger would start charging the iPhone until it was about 10% charged, then the phone would turn itself on and stop charging.

I've tried it in multiple cigarette outlets in different cars with different voltages. All with the same result. I've read that the 3G iPhone no longer supports the firewire pin charging, only USB charging. I wonder if some manufacturers don't know this and just slapped the 3G iPhone label on their old iPod/iPhone chargers. I got a cigarette charger that has a USB port and connects to the USB iPhone cable- and it works like a charm. To be safe, you may be better off getting one of those instead of this thing and save yourself some trouble.

Yes, it was delievered in a timly fashion. But the stupid thing died not even a week after it was delievered. I thought it was my car's outlet so i tried plugging it into another car, and same deal.

Stay away, save your self some aggrivation and buy a charger from a more reliable source.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good charger but a little bulky, November 8, 2008

Nice to have a car charge for the iphone 3G. The iphone is a known battery hog and mine is often near empty by the end of the day.
The main negative of this item is its size. The charger is too long and bulky and hard to fit into the smaller interiors of many of todays cars.
