Customer Reviews

The new design for a Blackberry charger is small and it looks pretty but it has one notable design/functional flaw which should be considered when shopping for an additional Blackberry (or generic) USB charger.
Briefly, the slot where the USB cable plugs in is on the side rather than on top - like the official Kindle USB charger - or in front. Therefore, if you want to plug it into a power strip it's mandatory that it's plugged on the last outlet, either on the left or on the right of the strip because there would be no room for the USB cable otherwise. Another issue - don't know if it's a problem - is that the plug is not grounded (2-pronged plug) but the makers of Blackberry apparently have concluded that this should be okay and my Blackberries survived so far.
Anyone who can live with the above should find the adapter as good as any other USB charger. Here are its good features, besides 'pretty':
- Small - up until recently, chargers used to be extra-wide and sometimes prevented the use of outlets to their left or right on a power strip. This one is the right size, for as long as it's the last one on the left or on the right.
- Generic (universal) - it can be used to charge just about any Blackberry and many other gadgets that charge through a MicroUSB port (or a Mini USB if you supply the cable) - Besides the Blackberry Torch, I am using it with a Kindle and a couple of Bluetooth headsets and MP3 players. Note that the reverse is also true. I am routinely charging my Blackberries (currently have a Bold and a Torch) off the Kindle charger and everything else can be charged with the Bold's 'old school' big charger.
- Modular - like Kindle's charger, this one will work with any Type A male to Micro-B or Mini USB male cable so, if the original cable stops working or is lost, any USB cable replacement will do.
- Inexpensive - for a 'branded' charger. There are lots of one-dollar generic USB chargers around but you always take a gamble with those and Kindle's own is a little more expensive.
To conclude, if one concern is 'power strip clutter' and price doesn't matter, the best USB charger is Kindle's. If price and quality are the main concerns, this may very well be 'the one' to get. Or, if you have some older charger lying around and you don't mind 'older' you may not need this at all.

Brush your teeth, it's the law! <<

the charge brick is what i expected it to be. the only problem is is that the usb cable is alot shorter than what i expected it to be. i also expected it to be a blackberry cable but it wasn't.
