hey,

did you get a chance to see if it charges last night? i'm really curious because i need a solution fairly quickly. and i don't want to have to settle for the richardsolo which has significantly less capacity.

Yup it charges it... ;O)

and is it really big? or is it about the same size as the iphone?

The reason I went this way with a battery backup is because I could use it with any case I may have on my phone...

It is 3 1/2 inches long and 2 wide is all... and just under a 1/2 thick... for the model below that is on ebay...

This one is a little larger in size but not bigger than the phone itself...

If you go to the links that are on ebay you will be able to view pictures of these two...

I really want one, but it's got so much potential if it could be used with other devices. It says there are other adapters, sold separately, but i can't find them. does it come with any others or just the ipod dock connector?

What you get is the charger, and then the plug that goes into the wall to charge it. In the plug is where you plug a usb cable into it and then into the charger itself.. this is how you charge it......

Then you unplug it from the wall plug into the charger and then into the phone... a adapter comes with it so you can plug it into the phone... also with the white model one you can use it on both iPhone first gen and iPhone 3G

I think what you would have to do is buy the adapter for any type of phone that plugs into the charger..

I hope you can understand this.. LOL

I can take pictures in a bit if you would like so you know what I am saying...or go back to the links on ebay and watch the videos on each page....and you will understand it better....

ahh double post

[jaja]

i know the topic is 3G, but I have the IOGEAR one - sorta flimsy, but good to have around as a backup... just in case... been saved by it many times...

so not sure if it works on the 3G (can't see why not...)

my 2 cents

[replicat0r]

backorder for the ty480?

Okay got the RichardSolo backup battery and LIKE it so far! It seemed a little weird having to plug it in the bottom... but the rear of the iPhone is where the antenna is located so it has to plug in the bottom. It charges as advertised and I've already found it useful during afternoons for a backup charge when out and away from any wall charger.
