Customer Reviews

I believe I bought mine for about ten bucks and that's about all it's worth.
I had the idea for a brick USB charger ages ago, this is the EXACT product I was dreaming of (albeit bulkier and a bit more capable).
I use mine to charge my HTC Hero and luckily for me, the USB cable it comes with also charges the phone.
I tend to fly and travel a lot, so this is exactly what I need.
PROS: Highly portable, fits in the palm of your hand. Uses standard USB connections for charging.
CONS: Won't hold a charge for long, don't charge this if you aren't planning on using it for a while. Takes quite some time to charge.
I haven't tested to see if a full charge will fully charge my phone from next to nothing, but it will definitely tie your device over.

I have no way of testing it, but the device itself says on the back 2.5Wh capacity, a lot less than the advertised 3.8Wh. Worse, it definitely does not work with my iPhone 3GS. It works with other items like my 30Gig iPod video and a Nokia N95.
