4.0 out of 5 stars Very Handy, January 11, 2009

By	M and G (Dover, NH) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

I bought this for my mother-in-law for Christmas. See really likes it (as she tells me).

Pro:
-Works as advertised! Extends the phone a few hours, recharges it very quickly
-Comes with the chargers needed, including a cigarette lighter that drives a USB power cable
-Charges itself (and the iPhone) very quickly
-Compatible with 1, 2, and 3G iPhones and I think it should therefore also work with iPod too
-Pretty green... came packed in a tiny, mostly paper/cardboard, box, as did the accessories
-Much more powerful than older models

Con:
-Extra cables to lug around... wished the 1800 power supply used the iPhone/IPod connector! I think it could have
-It does hang out there pretty far when connected to (charging/powering) the iPhone

Bottom line: Highly recommended for the iPhone gamer/surfing addict, especially if you travel at all.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Product, June 1, 2009

By	B. Naseer "Naseer" (Rochester, NY USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Richard Solo is very slick, light and handy external battery for iPhone. I'm very happy with it as I'm never worried about running out of iPhone battery anymore. I was also looking for a laser pointer so incidentally this serves that purpose too. I would hate to add bulk to my iPhone so opted for this one instead of the Mophie Juice pack.

The device is so light that you can actually talk on iPhone while its attached to your iPhone. This turns iPhone into a very long kind of phone set, but saves the battery and is very comfortable to to hold during the call. Even though I don't travel often, but whenever I do .. this device is always with me now. Highly recommended.

I had excellent customer service experience with the Richard Solo team. When I lost one of the plastic connectors and emailed them, got a reply within half an hour. They also sent me replacement covers by first class shipping absolutely free of cost. Amazing!

5.0 out of 5 stars THE BEST portable charger around!, May 21, 2009

By	jbx2usa "jbx2us" (MI, USA) - See all my reviews

I purchased one of these straight from the Richard Solo website and I have to say that is has lived up to my expectations so far. The unit is bigger than I thought it would be, not much smaller than the iPhone itself, but it packs a huge charge. I periodically run my phone down and the Richard Solo 1800 will charge it to full from almost empty in almost the same amount of time as plugging it in. The best part is that I can leave it in my pocket and go wherever I need to go without worry. Talking on my iPhone while the pack is plugged in looks silly but it's functional and entirely possible. It also works with any iPod making it twice as nice of a value!

Purchase this via the Richard Solo sight to get a free hard-back protective case for your iPhone 3G.
