    i looked around at the description of this on different sites. it doesnt list compatibility with the motorola V3, V330, or V360. it looks like it just has a usb plug for output. I think this means it will have problems charging certain motorola phones. anybody know?

    I have not used this device specifically, but having used moto phones I know that they are picky when it comes to chargers. I can plug my blackberry into just about any usb charger and it charges fine, whereas my moto phones would always give some sort of "unauthorized" charger error. it could also have something to do with the charger, but thats just my experience.

    I've had two different non-USB Motorola chargers with the same exact connector where one worked on my V300 and the other did not. The ONLY difference between the chargers was that one cable was thicker than the other. Same model otherwise, same input and output power rating, etc. Motorola's non-standard chargers (even USB as #1 and #2 have stated) is one of the reasons I choose to not have a Motorola phone. Kudos to Blackberry for building a phone that just sucks up the available juice as long as the right cable is plugged in... (YMMV, I'm not suggesting overloading it!)

    i think i read somewhere that motorola chargers have a resistor between one of the data pins and ground. So a usb cable with just power applied to it wont work. A usb cable plugged into a computer will work. And a motorola brand charger has the resistor and will work.

    I have a tmobile wing (htc) with some goofy modified usb looking connector that accepts usb and charges off anything. the wife has a razr.

    Ironbadge, I do the same thing. To multiplex, I also hook this unit up to my saute pan, and bring two eggs and a couple strips of bacon.

    #7 once you kick out the minorities... who is gonna pick the cotton, build the railroads, cook the dogs, and make MTV worth watching? Minorities are the entertainment and cooks of the world... unless you in some cracker ass state... most of the chefs where i am from are Mexican! Also it is funny to laugh at minorities cause they are minorities! I would not want to watch majorities trying to rap or do comedy. all of #7's people can do is magic tricks and dog walking. My people eat dogs.

    Anyways I do agree with #7 solar energy is iffy.

    Do your GF a favor and recharge her vibrator with this. Then hide in the closet, crack the door open, and watch. You do like to watch, don't you?

    Columns a bit screwy, oh well. Welcome to the white minority, coming to a USA near you (please wait 15 to 25 years for best results)

    AN INCREASINGLY DIVERSE USA

    The S minority population is up significantly since Ronald Reagan was elected president in 1980, creating a more diverse electorate and altering the political landscape:
    1980 2006
    85.9% Whites 75.1%
    11.8% Blacks 12.3%
    2.3% Other races, or 2 or more races 12.6%
    6.4% Hispanics (of any race) 14.7%
    Sources: S Census


    From 2000 to 2050, the non-Hispanic, white population ... would comprise just 50.1 percent of the total population in 2050, compared with 69.4 percent in 2000.

    On a more related topic these are great for the nutty outdoors type that is going to be recharging their gps while hiking. For the cave dwelling wage slave flipping burgers or whacking keys in a cube farm; when do you even see sun?

    keep believing what you are told, morons. A square meter of land facing the sun receives about 1380 joules per second. There are about 4046 meters in one acre. Thats 5583480 joules per acre or 5,583,480 watts per second per acre. But, yea, solar power is iffy...

    Same people think the economy is just in a slight downward cycle.

    Are we better off today than we were 8 years ago?

    Nice job morons. Keep voting the Guns, God & Gyas so we can all be owned by the Saudis and China.

    What are you talking about man?

    1. The most important number is zero. This is the number of attacks that have occurred on US soil since we invaded those sand N$ggers in the Middle East.

    2. Quit buying Chinese products, you stupid burp. If you want to stop enriching China, do something about it, pus$y.

    3. Solar energy requires the use of much more energy to produce the panels than it would ever put out via kilowatts. Show me some numbers and change my mind.

    Riding Sarah Palin all the way to the White House!

    What's the matter, did you buy a subprime mortage in CA to finance your dream home?

    Too bad, pus$y, you should have bought something you can afford. Quit paying the illegals in CA to do all of your dirty work and you won't have this problem.

    CA is a liberal cesspool full of morons like yourself. Here in the heartland of OH, we know what is really going on you stupid burp!
