Good car charger

[Wilhelm]

Does anyone know of a good car charger? I'm considering the proclip charging stand but $70 is steep. The charger I got for my RAZR from just wireless works because it's USB but it plain sucks. It stops charging periodically and I have to disconnect and reconnect it. It also charges very slowly.

The OEM ones they sell at the at&t Corporate owned stores work good. They cost $30 unless you have a company discount on your account.

After my active car holder from brodit was broken (fired up, ruined my tytn and unusable) I decided to do a cheap solution. I bought a HAMA car charger for the MDA music II, cut of the powerplug and solded it onto my broken brodit holder. It works again now, without blowing up my tytn.

So the HAMA charger is perfectly suited, and i paid only 8 euro's for it!

(why didnt i exchanged my brodit? because i live in norway now and i didnt want to wait another 2 months for a new brodit so decided just to weld another powerplug on the broken brodit)

Tilt depot is based in Florida and sells several different chargers. I bought an HTC OEM charger from them for around $25 delivered.

Back in November, I bought an "OEM Tilt Car Charger" on eBay for about $12 delivered.

The item that came was indeed in AT&T packaging, but the molded lettering on the unit said "Wireless Solutions model #474987."

So, convinced that I got screwed by an unscrupulous seller who stuffed an aftermarket charger in AT&T packaging, I went to my local AT&T corporate store to look at their chargers.

Guess what? They sell the "Wireless Solutions model #474987" in AT&T packaging. For $25, plus tax.

I've got a Brodit passive holder & proclip mount with a usb cable into a USB adapter in the cigarette lighter socket.
Simple & works a treat, as I can also use it to charge a bluetooth headset, camera etc. etc.

I have this, and have found it really good:

Ony negative about it is that the cable from cigarette lighter socket to windscreen is too short for some cars...

I got an iPod car charger. Don't remember who makes it but it is just a 12v to USB adaptor. You plug the iPod cable into the USB. Works with the Tilt USB cable too.

I use a car charger from Boxwave and it works very well; even when using GPS, it does charge the unit. As opposed to an old Motorola Razr car charger I was using that couldn't even maintain a positive charge when using GPS.

Also, Boxwave sells a nice, inexpensive mini-USB adaptor that allows you to use any headphones with a 3.5 mm jack. I am also happy with their extended battery (2700mAh); I just wish I could find a case that would fit it.

I use an iGo (http://www.igo.com/home.asp). Between my wife, kids, and myself we have 3 different charger ports. I like the fact that the unit has changeable tips. It also charges well, and is attractive.

$9.99 AT&T OEM Charger & $15.99 expandable GPS/PDA/Phone craddle (can be hard mounted, velcroed, or use cup holders & turned from landscape to portrait & will accomodate the unit with open KB) from best buy. I also have their tablet pc mount & a split USB charge to sync cable so I can provide my laptop with GPS & a data connection anywhere. Total setup less than 60.00

I picked up a Kensington USB car charger at Circuit City for $9.99 a couple weeks ago. It's a charger only so you'll need a usb cable also - I had no shortage of those. Nice and small with a blue status light and 1000ma output, so it charges pretty fast. At that price, I bought a spare.

Does anyone know a reliable source for OEM HTC Kaiser Wall Chargers? Ones that are ACTUALLY HTC chargers with the proprietary shape noted below?

I'm looking for the USB that has this shape.
____
|___/

NOT this shape:

____
\___/ with both sides having an angle.

I can find PLENTY of so-called OEM chargers, but none of them really seem to differentiate between the two shapes above. I simply cannot get the Kaiser to charge anymore using standard miniUSB, so I want to make sure I am ordering the proprietary shape.

So many of the threads here even refer to them interchangeably, and I really want to avoid standard miniUSB chargers. HTC does not seem to have them on their website. Bastards. Heh.

Thanks!!

Erm obviously not, since all HTC original chargers use the standard shape with "both sides having an angle" as you show it... ;)
The top plug is only used on the headphones, there are no chargers that use it.
