Pros: It has plugs for a great number of cell phone brands, though I have only used it for my Sony Ericsson C902 and for my HTC Touch Dual (USB). Of course being extendable is the reason why I bought it. Makes it all tidy and nice ;)
Cons: Not much to say here, except it should come with something like a little case or a pouch. And I bet it wouldn't be that much expensive.
Other Thoughts: Well, I don't know. My girl just had a car crash. She's ok, thanks. Just that someone hit her car while she was waiting for a red light to turn green. And since she was not holding the brakes and not keeping a very safe distance from the car in front, she hit too. Ok, so here's the thought now: keep your distance while waiting for the greenlight. Thank you.
Bottomline: This item is nice, DealExtreme is really great, I wish those people that are attacking their website just grew a tree up their behinds. Again, thank you Dealextreme for your great service and prices. Loose the 500 Char!
Does the Job well

Pros: It's small handy little gadget to throw in the laptop case, take no room and weighs nothing. Charges all of my other gadget from my laptop. Why carry different chargers when one will do.
Cons: Really need to find a way to keep the other heads from getting lost within the abyss of my laptop case. Does not have a head for my LG phone, nokia's are fine.
Other Thoughts: Sometimes the retracter jams but a tiny bit of gentleness and it usually works, not really robust, but at this price is it really a problem.
Bottomline: Handy little device to have in the case, for just in case, have loned it out to help colleagues, always worth the brownie points.
Good set of adapters.

Pros: Broad set of sturdy adapters: current and prior generation connectors for Nokia and Ericsson phones, as well as a mini USB type B connector. The cable contains a step-up converter to 5.5V, necessary to make some phones charge (confirmed with S-E W910i).
Cons: A USB type A to mini B cable without data seems a bit pointless. Many people probably don't need the multiple generation connectors. The step-up converter makes the cable bulky and loses some power as heat. The wire itself feels flimsy, comon with the retractable kind.
Other Thoughts: The adapters are all to 3mm Nokia style plug, so matches other kits.
Bottomline: It not only does all I wanted from it, the step-up converter made it work even with a troublesome phone. A better result than expected.
Works fine, great value

Pros: Contains a very comprehensive set of connectors for different phones, right down to the 2mm Nokia connector, which I used on my 6120 Classic. The USB cable is one of those retractable ones, which locks when fully extended in both directions; this makes it quite compact. Build quality is fine.
Cons: I'd have liked a bag or something to keep all the plugs in, once I'd unpacked this item!
Other Thoughts: Just does its job. It charges my phone fine (some other chargers haven't). A steal at the price.
Bottomline: Very useful indeed. I keep one at work for emergencies.
