I bought this charger as a "spare" to keep at the office. I was pleased to see that it was identical to the OEM charger that came with my 9650. Amazon's price and shipping service beat all other competitors. Thank you Amazon. -- OEM charger for 9650

Bought it to use as a spare charger at work.
I use it for Blackberry Bold 9650 and works fine. -- For a spare charger

There are so many sketchy sellers selling phone chargers out there, that it can be a bit scary. The problem is that if the charger is poorly made, the output of the charger can be out of spec and can, in some cases, fry the phone you connect to it.

For that reason, when it comes to phone chargers, you should stick to name brands. (They are all made in China, but the name brand ones are usually subject to stricter QA).

When I found this charger on Amazon, SOLD BY AMAZON, I jumped on it. It's a MICRO USB charger, made for the Blackberry and sold under the Blackberry name, in retail packaging. The rated output is 5V and 700mA.

This charger should work fine with most any phone that uses the MICRO USB connector. The key number to pay attention to is the second one, the rated amperage. This is the MAXIMUM amount of current that the phone can request from the charger. A typical USB port on a PC provides as little as 100mA, and few provide more than 500mA. So this charger should charge your phone faster than when it's connected to a PC. A few phones out now can use up to 1000mA. But that just means they CAN use that amount. If 700mA is provided, they'll still charge, just a bit more slowly.

This is an excellent quality name brand travel micro USB charger at a price that beats the no-name junk from third party sellers. What's not to like? -- Genuine Blackberry charger in retail packaging. 5V 700mA output, works w/ most micro-USB phones like Incredible, Droid, etc.

These have charged my LG micro-USB phones very quickly compared to a micro-USB to standard USB cable connected to a DC power source (either computer or AC/DC converter). The phone briefly complains about the type of cable, then the phone charges flawlessly. -- Found these useful to quickly charge non-blackberry phones

I purchased this travel charger along with the desktop charging pod (BlackBerry Charging Pod for BlackBerry Tour 9630) and it works great.

The charger is the BlackBerry OEM travel charger with a folding North American/Japanese style-only plug, it does not work with the BlackBerry travel adapters. It also comes in a standard white box like the chargers that come with the phones, not in a retail package.

Can't beat the deal from Amazon, especially if you buy enough to get free shipping. -- OEM Unit at Amazon Price
