Default MT4GS wall charger

Anyone using a good wall charger for MT4GS?

I am having trouble finding one that has a cord of sizable length (in the 6' range). I often travel without my computer (no usb charging) and hotels often annoyingly put the outlets right in the middle of the bed and my cords don't have enough length to get to the nightstand.

I'm currently using the (overpriced) TMO branded ones, which work great but are much too short. I have a few of BestBuy's rocketfish branded ones that I used with my OG Droid that were great, but they're not working with MT4GS (too low A?).

Check Radio Shack. I got a microUSB charger for work from there that fits your description.

This is the charger I use. I've been using it for a year and a half and it hasn't gone bad on me yet.

I picked up a cord that is like five feet long and rated at 1 amp for like ten bucks.

Default Went with cord and HTC wall adapter

Thanks for the replies. I did actually end up going with a 6' MediaBridge USB cable and the HTC wall adapter plug. Seems to be working fine. Would still prefer a longer cord, just wish a reputable company made one. But this setup is already an improvement.

You mean the TMobile OEM? It is good, but way too short. The wall dongle adapter that comes with the phone is also great, I just had to find a long enough (legit) USB cable. Which I have, for the most part.

I LOVE the OEM charger for its spare USB port, which means I get two devices on one outlet, but ... ugh, just too short.
