New OEM TP2 car charger for $7 bucks.

Just curious... I know there will be the ebay doubters but the seller seems to have positive reviews on the same product:

You are right in the sense that I do not get how they ship these items from China and still make money

So?? how much power will the cheap charger put out? Use a battery monitor program such as: 'nuePower '

for instructions and info about the nuePower app.

or "battery monitor"

I like the nuePower best it puts a short cut in start/settings/system and the GUI looks nice. With my touch pro with sprint I have a 780mA draw when providing wifi internet to my laptop. Im lucky to break even when using the factory 1,000mA charger. (must use a fan or phone over heats and wont charge) Phone can dubble as a pocket warmer when running these programs. Try having the wifi, Bluetooth, gps and phone raido on all at the same time! This thing might catch on fire. My laptop has a slower possessor and does less then my phone had my lap top has built in fan what an idea! I think some one otta design a battery cover that works like a heat sink heat paste and all.

Now i just gotta find a excellent case. Anyone tried the rubber one shown here?

or what about this...does it allow you to access the keyboard without taking the outer case off?

Checked out the ALuminum case, it says it works for Verizon, but the picture shows the GSM phone without the 3.5 audio jack. I ordered one anyway. Hope it fits, otherwise I'll have to take out the dremel tool and cut a new hole.

And for heat cut a hole in the back of the battery cover and put some heat transferring paste between the hot part and the aluminum. Ha forget it im getting a touch pro2. Maybe the larger size of the touch pro 2 contrubutes to better heat dissipation. It is rumored to not have the overting probblem.

I dont think there is such a thing as micro usb. Franky any mini USB cable will work. If it's connected to a power source. Thats the USB standard. In my experience I've used mini usb cables to charge my phone from I think blackberry's, Moto rzr's, anything with mini usb works. Some charge faster than other's but they do charge.

Sure there is. Same width, but half the thickness of mini-usb.

It is essentially becoming the defacto standard port for charging for cell phones (my wife's new LG flip phone has micro usb).

HTC thought they were jumping on the standardized charging plug with mini-usb, and they let the bus pass them by.

The one on the left is mini-usb, the one on the right is micro-usb.

Here is the wiki on USB, including all connection types.

I used this power charger on my drive to and from Wilmington, NC and Rochester and it worked great!
