People with battery issues... Ever try this thing?



I'd much rather carry around that brick than make my phone a brick.

Anyone tried it? Its 50 bucks from Sprint but judging from the size of it, it should be able to provide a lot of juice!

EDIT: Anyone that wants it can find it in Sprint's accessories page on their website. Sprint doesn't allow me to just direct link it.

Re: People with battery issues... Ever try this thing?

This is one that I had seen in Skymall a few weeks ago. Its for iPhone and Blackberry but I've read some threads where htc users are using blackberry chargers. It claims to hold more than one full charge.

http://richardsolo.com/iphone_and_ipod.html

Anyone used this or the sprint version? Anyone have $50 to test it and let us know?

Edit: $70

But the Richard Solo has an LED...

Steve: on the APC, does it charge to full or do you use it plugged in when your battery dies? Give us a little detailed feedback...

Re: People with battery issues... Ever try this thing?

Cool concept but I seem to have a wall socket or car charger around when I need to charge. Knowing me I would just loose this like I do my chargers.

Do explain a little bit more? I'm a bit confused here of what you asking.

Yeah but not when you figure in the cost of the dock to keep it charged. Plus, get those metal contacts on the battery against something metal in your pocket and you've got a potentially very serious problem.

I already have a spare battery and don't even have a phone for it yet... But I'm really mulling this over since I could charge potentially from my pocket...

Re: People with battery issues... Ever try this thing?

Yeah I got a free spare battery when I went to play with the Touch Pro on Saturday... Shocked me. I didn't even ask for it, was just buying accessories and told the guy that I'm going to miss my Curve's battery life but happy to go back to WinMo. He said hold on and ran off, came back with a big smile on his face and a battery and was like "here ya go bud!"
