TIP: if you own a macbook, the higher-powered port is the "front" one (the one closer to the audio jacks).Overall a recommended buy as long as you overpay and get it from a reputable seller like Amazon - eBay may have chaper prices but their CA-100s are fakes for the most part. The Nokia CA100 USB Charger is practical for leaving the phone to charge while I'm in the office or when I need to provide power to a Nokia phone being used as a 3G modem (3G's battery hog).Potential buyers should keep in mind that (1) this is a very slow charger and (2) it only works from high-power USB ports.
However, I think this product is ridiculously over-priced. Why these phones don't charge of USB to begin with is beyond me. I'm sure there's a strategy behind it.As my overall strategy to get all my devices to charge off usb (so I only need 1 car adapter and 1 wall adapter), I needed this for my Nokia products.In my world of traveling, it's been worth-it overall to switch all my devices to use USB to charge.
Much more convenient than an a/c charger. Item works well. Small in size and very convenient.
They assured me that it was okay to do this, so each night my phone goes onto the charger and I wake up to a completely filled battery. I bought this product mainly for when I travel, since I always bring my laptop with me and I've found that sometimes there are a limited number or electrical outlets in rooms. You can't go wrong with this item. I also love the size of this thing.it's tiny and will fit in my laptop case or in my smallest pocket. However, after trying this charger, I've put away my outlet dependent one and am using this one each night. I'd grown used to charging my Palm Treo 650 each night when I went to sleep (so I was always sure there would be a full battery charge the next day) and contacted Nokia to see if this is the way to go with my new Nokia N95 8gb.
Also see this link for what Nokia offers in the UK which appears to be the similar to the product described above - [.]. Needed this for my son's Nokia 5310 then I found on Amazon The "Nokia N95-3 Minisync Retractable Cable" which has the Charger and sync plus it expands up to 25 inches.
