 Did not work with my iPhone 3G September 10, 2008

I bought this product since it advertised as compatible with my 3G iPhone. To my dismay, I took it on a trip and found that it does not work. The only time it would charge is when the 3G iPhone was completely drained... the charger would start charging the iPhone until it was about 10% charged, then the phone would turn itself on and stop charging.
I've tried it in multiple cigarette outlets in different cars with different voltages. All with the same result. I've read that the 3G iPhone no longer supports the firewire pin charging, only USB charging. I wonder if some manufacturers don't know this and just slapped the 3G iPhone label on their old iPod/iPhone chargers. I got a cigarette charger that has a USB port and connects to the USB iPhone cable- and it works like a charm. To be safe, you may be better off getting one of those instead of this thing and save yourself some trouble.

Product was received in a timely manner. It did not work the first 2 times I plugged it into the phone, but it started working on the third attempt. The indicator light was on during all three uses so I don't understand what happened the first two times. It does take a much longer time to recharge the phone battery in this manner (45 min to 1 hour) than from a household outlet (10 minutes), perhaps that is normal?
 Good charger but a little bulky November 9, 2008

Nice to have a car charge for the iphone 3G. The iphone is a known battery hog and mine is often near empty by the end of the day.
The main negative of this item is its size. The charger is too long and bulky and hard to fit into the smaller interiors of many of todays cars.

This is a Great product, much cheaper than the same item sold in the stores and it works great however the sales people in the stores will tell you differently because they want you to buy theirs. It does not over heat or over charge the phone like the sales people will tell you.
