HTC Cingular 8125 USB Rapid Car Charger with Ic Chip

This little gizmo has been a real pain. The plug has to be placed in just the right position in the cigarette lighter or else it won't charge. It's very frustrating to be driving and trying to adjust the charger or notice after sometime that even though everything has been plugged in, the phone isn't getting charged.

I've had it for about a year now and on my last trip the thing just gave out. The head of the plug that keeps the front contact and fuse in place became undone/unscrewed and can't reliably hold in place anymore. The threads around the plug's head appeared to have melted...

I recently purchased the "Retractable Cell Phone Car Charger for HTC SHADOW / HTC TOUCH / 5800 / FUSION / S720/ HTC Wizard / HTC Apache / Cingular 8125 / 8525 (HTC TyTN, JasJam, Hermes) / Mogul / XV6800 / P4000 / Titan / Wing" by Cellet which seems to have a better design including an all metal contact and of course an integrated USB cable. I expect this product will last much longer. I'm not specifically recommending the Cellet charger, but make sure whichever charger you buy, the front contact, head piece is all metal to avoid the melted threads that I experienced.

works ok but does not fit the power outlet very well. easy to lose connection if bumped or shaken.

So far I've bought and used two of these (1 for me, then 1 for my wife when her expensive, phone-specific charger died). These work great and the price is right. Side notemy HTC Hero would not take a charge in my wife's Toyota Camry Hybrid. Her phone worked, the charger works in my Accord. I can't figure it out, but if you drive a Camry Hybrid and want to charge the Hero, look for another charger, for ANY other scenerio, this should work fine for you.

It is a great deal I must admit but unless what ever you are using this on has the power to shut down before overcharging or has a warranty don't buy this. I used a rather cheap mp3 player with this and it burned out. Luckily I had warranty and after about 4 mp3 players I found out it was the charger. Oh and if you are thinking about saying "but thats not an HTC phone" well this used to be listed just as usb charger so I clicked to write a review and it linked me here. Also if it overcharges an mp3 player chances are it will do the same to a phone.
