 Sleek and simple... August 8, 2008
I purchased this USB travel kit for my 8925 Tilt about a month ago. The components are intuitive, sleek, and simple. The retractable cable is nice and works smoothly (though I did have a little trouble initially getting it to recoil - I've since figured it out :-). The AC adapter charges normally (what I'd expect). The car charger, on the other hand, charges slowly (I was expecting a rapid charger). Interestingly, I've found that while charging in the car, if I am making a call via my bluetooth headset, the charger cannot keep up. It gets worse if I am on the phone via bluetooth and am using the internet (Remote Desktop client, web browsing, etc.). It's very possible that the slow charge is better for the longevity of the phone's battery.
 excellant travel kit June 21, 2008
Purchased just in time for vacation. I used the USB cable every night to sync my phone with my laptop as well as copy pics from my digital camera. Used the AC adapter to charge the phone over night so I never had a need to use the car adapter though I did test it to make sure it worked. I plan to leave this travel kit in my computer bag so I don't have to worry about lugging my OEM adapters on trips and losing them.
As a bonus, the AC adapter has a charging indicator LED which most OEM adapters do not, usually only the car adapters have the LED. I find this useful to remind me to unplug it from the wall when I'm done so it's one less energy sucking device.
Decent product May 28, 2008
I hate it when the charger is all over the place in the car so I wanted the retractable. Couple of things I encountered: it's alot easier if you pull both ends at the same time. I didn't one time and it took a couple tries to get it to rewind again. And I need to keep an eye on tip for the cigarette lighter as it sometimes "leans" and stops charging. But for $15 it's tough to beat......
Great price, good functionality. May 12, 2008

Great idea to make the retractable USB cable the center piece of this treo. Its like a Swiss Army Knife. Works great charging my Tilt in the car so far. Well worth the price.
