Thats pretty sweet. Now that would be something cool to add to the box of accessories that come with the phone.

Do they even make a 1a peak 12v adapter? 500ma might still cause battery drain w/ WiFi on.

That looks really cool!
But how do you take it out when you want to put something in?

Unfortunately not that I know of. It is a new arrival, maybe the 1kmah will come shortly?

It looks like its lipped, so you'll probably need strong nails to pluck that sucker out

Have you ever been on a roadtrip with your friends? laptops + wifirouter = awsome time.
Back when I had my TP, I used it on a 140 mile trip while the GPS was on. If it wasnt for the AC, she probably would have melted, lol

Belkin has a similar unit that provides 1 Amp. Do an Amazon search for Belkin low-profile USB Micro Auto Charger.

Just purchased it. It's the simple things that seem to make the difference.

Thanks

I've used the Belkin for the last 6 months or so and really like it. Amazon has it for $14.25 right now, but that's a bit more than the 2.39 for the 500mA ones.
Here's a direct link: http://www.amazon.com/Micro-USB-Auto.../ref=pd_cp_e_1

So the 500mA one for sure would charge the Touch Pro 2? Or would it just sustain the battery without charging it?

It will charge the TP2. I dont think the TP2 discharges at 500ma when idle.

It will trickle charge the phone (slow), but if are using GPS and Bluetooth, making a lot of calls, or otherwise drawing a lot of power, then you need the 1A charger.

Solution?

USB 1A power output $1.99 with free shipping?!

I might just get this!

The problem isn't finding a 1A charger. They are everywhere. The unique feature that is bringing people to this thread is the small, "flush mount" size of the charger.

I picked up a similar one on ebay for a few bucks. I use it quite a bit, and it works great.
