This is not a review, it is a warning. I am writing this in Australia where I am stranded with a Motorola V220 phone, which I purchased because it was a world phone. I needed a phone I could use in Australia, and I can, for as long as the battery lasts! This "world phone" comes complete with a 110 volt only charger. Since most of the world uses 220 current, the charger is useless most places, including Australia.

Which brings me to the point of this review. Nowhere in the specs for this "travel" charger does it say whether it will accept 220 current. Does "travel" mean North America, or does it mean the world. No way to tell, so caveat emptor!

This is a great travel charger. Although it has a US plug, I bought it to use in Europe. Using a simple plug adapter, I have found that it works perfectly on 220v.

I recently had to purchase these for a business user, and was disappointed to have to do so. Motorola phones used to come with chargers that worked on variable (US and Int'l) voltages, but now their chargers that come with US phones work on 110v only. This means a Telecom Manager of company like mine now has to purchase additional chargers for travelers. Most of the phones that are compatible with this charger are quad-band and can work in countries across the globe...why ship it with a charger that only works in one place, especially when they used to ship phones like this with chargers that worked on variable voltages? My guess is accessory sales were lagging, and this was a convenient way to boost sales. The charger itself works well, but I'm simply annoyed at the prospect of having to purchase it, when in the recent past, I did not have to.

I recieved this item and was very dissatisfied. I have a V180 and the plug did not fit my phone properly. The plug was way to small and I could only get it to work if I held the phone in my hand and moved the cord into a certain position.

This charger is slim, light, and fast. It charges my Motorola V180 in 2 hours (the charger that comes with the cellphone takes more than 4 hours) when the battery indicator drops to one bar. My only complaint is that during charging, the cellphone's battery indicator shows only one bar although the battery is fully charged. Once I unplug the charger from the phone, the battery indicator jumps to 4 bars (full). It's confusing but not a real problem. The chord is only 4 feet long which is a bit short for me. I recommend this charger.

I had to pay rather a lot of money to have this shipped to Amsterdam (after UPS decided it didn't want to ship it to me in Canada for much less) and the first time I used it, it blew the fuse in the hotel room. Now I have to pay even more money to send it back!

I purchased this charger 6 weeks ago and it broke when I pulled it out of the wall. The entire back came off leaving the actually plug part in the wall. I bought it to replace my lost charger. Warning do not waste your money.

The travel charger is small, light, easy to use, and does the job. Note that the electrical prongs do not retract for travel.

This lightweight charger works great. I actually bought it as a replacement but it works great to travel with as well. There is even a red light when on so you ensure it has a connection. Works for me!

I just ordered this as I needed urgently for my spouse who lost her charger on recent vacation. The charger looks brand new, but doesn't work ! plugged in and no output at all. I would have hoped somebody would have atleast just plugged in to do a simple test to see if the power light is blinking or not before mailing it. What a waste !!! Now waiting on replacement and hope this time they get it right !
