| Beware - not much here | |
| Never assume. What you get is pretty much just what you see in the picture. There is no cord to plug this unit in. You must still use the charging cord that came with the phone to connect it to an AC outlet. As such, this cannot be used as a second charger. The only advantage is the ability to charge an extra battery along with the phone. Once you know this, it is apparent from the description, but I guess I didn't read closely enough and assumed too much. All other comments accurate. | |
 Phone is ACTIVE while charging | |
| I disagree w/ a previous review. I have had no problems RECEIVING calls and simultaneously charging the phone using this desktop charger. In fact, if you have the phone set to vibrate, it rings in the charger anyway... However, unlike the regular charger, you can't talk and charge at the same time. (It would be pretty funny trying to hold a desktop charger to your face to talk anyway.) So whenver the phone rings, just pull the phone out and talk! Note 1: There is no "release button" you need to push to disconnect the phone. So it's easy to grab the phone in a hurry... Note 2: Charging an additional battery is really weird. Just like a previous review, it is spring loaded, and you need to load it at an angle. I too looked all over the 1 pg. manual w/o luck to try and figure this out... | |
 Not Worth it... | |
| Not much to say here. My experience with the device shows it's tricky to use, easy to break, and does not do a great job of charging. Being able to charge two batteries at once -- a spare and the one on the phone -- nice. Maybe it would be more useful if it came with decent instructions. |
