I tried one. It will work to charge the phone if it's turned off. It doesn't keep up when the phone is in use. In my case, using the GPS.

I'm still looking for an external battery like this that will extend the run time while I'm out hiking.

I didnt know you had to turn it off for this one.

I guess I should go with 2nd battery and cradle. Whats worth it 1350mah OEM vs 1600mah aftermarket? hmm.

Actually I have one that my wife bought me for Christmas, I use it on my HTC Tytn aka Hermes. I love it. I can plop in a set of freshly charged Energizer Nimh 2500mah batteries into it plug it into the phone and it it charges while I use it, no problems at all. It can take my extended life 3000mAh Hermes battery and take it from 20% up to about 80% charge in about an hour. Works great for me, as I have a car charger to go along with the Energizer AA batteries which charges 4 of them to full capacity in about 15mins. (granted they are scorching hot when they come out of the charger)

I will be posting a more in depth review of the Energi To Go charger in the Hermes section later tonight.

As for me I am a really happy customer.

nothing can beat this product. the advantage it has over all others is that you can recharge the unit with a wall outlet. no cords needed. i use it for my phone and my archos player. no one really talks about it so i guess i got lucky finding it.

I use the energizer to go. Not on a regular basis, but I keep it with me at all times. I use the 2500 rechargeables charged and when you need that extra power, you got it. I also have the seidio 1600 battery, but guess where that is? Always at home in a drawer. Energizer is really I think the best way to go. But since I flashed Duttys 6.1, I don't use it that much. The battery life in that rom is INCREDIBLE!! I run Blackberry connect 24/7, leave the house at 4am, back home on the charger about 9-10pm, still have over 50%, with moderate use during the day. So between Energizer 2 go, and Dutty, I'm gone

Circuit City had these units on sale for $4.17 until yesterday.
Looks like their supply is now exhausted.
