Pros: - One of the cheapest in the DX
- Small enough to carry everywhere, even inside your wallet.
Cons: - Weak wires.
- Not quite simple to take it of this case, and if it escapes while handdling it, the wire can be easily breaked.
Other Thoughts: - It does not have a good amperage conversion, so it can take a long time for your cell phone battery to get completly charged.
Bottomline: - Considering it's price, it works as mentioned and have a good cost-benefit ratio, but you need to put in your mind that is very fragile, end you will need to realy care about handling it.
Good, but with some flaws

Pros: * Cheap
* Works
* Small
Cons: * Cable very short
* The housing for the cables is hard to use
* There are better alternatives
Other Thoughts: This device has some good things and bad ones as well. On the good side, is veeery small, you can throw it in your laptop backpack and make sure you will never run out of juice in your cellphone again. On the bad side, the cable is veeeery short, almost no use for it in a desktop PC without a USB extension, as the phone would be hanging from the back of the case. Another downside is that you have to press the "power" button to release both connectors (usb and cellphone), and this sometimes is not that easy, it may stuck and you fear of breaking something if you apply to much force.
Bottomline: For some reason my N95 never shows battery charged, but the battery is actually charged.
Not a bad product but I think there are better alternatives, like the retractable USB cable with cellphone connectors. Sure, that one is a little bigger, but doesn't have the cons of this one.
Very nice!

Pros: It is very cheap
it is very small (cable 10cm, housing 2 cm by 2 cm)
Cons: you should know that the cable is realy short, about 10 centimeters
Other Thoughts: You have to press the "power" button to release the conectors.
I tried it with a Nokia E65 and a few more, and it works just fine, Nokia has 2 kind of chargers, the small jack and the bigger (older) jack, this charger is the small one! I bought 2 and I think I will buy a few more for my friends, I always wanted an USB charger for my Nokia phone.
Bottomline: This is a very good buy, I recomend it!
