Will This car charger work?

Want to order a car charger instead of buying a $30+ one form telus.

Will any of these work properly with the telus diamond?

The first one is cheaper. The second one is a bit more expensive, but its shipping time is 2-9 days (from usa) as opposed to 7-11 days (hong kong), but it says its for Sprint touch diamond.
Would that still work for my Telus diamond?

I use this charger in my car. It's not any cheaper than the Telus one, but I love that it's USB, so I can charge almost anything with it. That and it's available at FutureShop, so there's no worries about delivery time.
I currently use it to charge my Diamond and my iPod while on the go.
Hope that helps!

Yup, you can use it to charge anything that has a USB cord. Kinda slick!

I'll look at that in FS then.

So to clarify, i CAN charge a TELUS Diamond if the charger says its for SPRINT diamond??

You can pretty much use ANY charger that provides a USB connection. I've used my Garmin charger and 2 generic ones.

You'll want to find one that does 1A if you can, though. The USB standard is 500mA, which will charge much slower (duh!

). And if you're in the car and using the GPS, you might not increase your charge at all.

Sorry to resurrect this thread, but I didn't see a point in creating a new one. Been meaning to pickup a USB car charger. I've ordered generic ones in the past and they've always died within a couple months. So, I think I'll spend the big bucks and buy this Belkin one. Should be fine, right? Anyone already have one?
