Excellent Buy!
Pros: Charges much faster than direct plug-in and saves your data port from wear...This is an excellent product that works well as both a charger and a phone stand for those of you that work at a desk all day like I do. It sits at the perfect angel in front of me for viewing incoming calls and messages, no need to pick up your phone to see who's calling. Very well constructed, non-slip rubberized base. Will not overcharge your BB Curve. I even use this base as a non-charging stand when my phone is in its rubber skin and it fits in fine. I have seen this item in BlackBerry shops for as much as $40.00, so this is a steal. (It has been repeatedly featured in newegg's email blasts with free shipping, that's when I jumped on it...nobody wants to pay for shipping if they don't have to, right?)
Cons: None! Just shut up and get one.
Overall Review: Some folks have complained about the indicator lights being too bright for a bedroom but I keep mine at my desk so it is fine for me. Oh yes....and the lights on the unit only let you know that the base has power. They are not charging indicators.
Excellent Product
Pros: Excellent converter! I did lots of research on this type of product since I wanted my electronics to be safe overseas and this is the best product for this purpose. I used this in Germany and France and had no problems. The auto-switching is an awesome feature because you never have to worry about using the right wattage setting.
Cons: None, don't look any further, just buy it.
Overall Review: If you plan to use this to power up multiple items at once make sure you take a standard US extension cord that has the 3 receptacles at one end. I used this converter to plug in and charge my laptop, cell phone and toothbrush at the same time, works great!
Great Deal!
Pros: Good quality cable, saved a boatload of money. The big stores try to get you to dump $40.00 for one of these. Getting it at this price gives you an idea of what it really costs to make one, and how huge the markup is at BB and CC!
Cons: None
Overall Review: Make sure you take advantage of the quantity discount, I bought 5 to save on shipping too, and I know I'll be using these in the future so why not have extra on-hand?
