Default Looking for a car charger for the x1.

I live in the UK and have been to Carphone warehouse, Phones 4 U, The o2 store (where I got the phone from) and they all redirected me to each of the other shops...?!?!?

Now I've read other posts about mixing chargers from different manufacturers, so i'm not too keen on buying a car charger made for a different make and model phone...

So...can anyone point me in the right direction?

Brodit has actually made a nice custom fit holder for the X1. But I just find it too expensive for a piece of molded plastic at about 40$ for the holder alone. If you factor in the cost for the actual car mounting kit and the charger it ends up costing about 80$ or more.

I went the cheap route and ordered a custom fit cradle through ebay from Hongkong for only 15$ and a generic USB car charger for about 7$ incl. shipping.

If there is any interest, I will report back once I receive the holder.

I've had the Brodit cradle and mount in my car for the last couple of weeks and I'm very happy with it; good solid build quality and easy to fit too.

I use a Motorola charger that came with my old V3i, however the screen is always on while charging in the car, just like the Moto
