Micro-USB AC Adapter

Yeah, I'd never heard of monoprice until I saw someone else mention it on a different thread here yesterday.

I bought two of the cables that Geoff linked in the first post, plus one of the AC adapters that I linked to, and also one of the USB car chargers - so for a total of $7.99 (including shipping) I've added a wall charger and a car charger.

At the VZW store they wanted $65 for an extra wall charger and phone charger ($29.99 each plus tax).

So now I'll have a charger at home, a charger at the office, and a charger in the car - this should help greatly in alleviating the battery life problem. For a mere 8 bucks I think it's certainly worth trying before blowing $60+ on an extended battery...

Watch the USB wall chargers from Monoprice, I ordered two and one is faulty. It charges the phone, but the screen and soft buttons on the front are dead when it is plugged in. When using the other, the phone is fine and it behaves just like when attached to the HTC cable and wart that came with the phone.

I may send it back to monoprice, but at 2.00, it's probably not worth the hassle. I'll just take a USB to micro cable to work and power the phone off of my machine there if needed.
