Car Charger??

[mattparmely]

So Im under the impression that one from VZW doesn't exist yet? Or does it?
Does anyone have any links to some? I checked ebay but I think most are just cheapos from people that are making them. You just need a cigarette lighter w/a micro usb port right? But I don't think I want to have to carry my charging chord back and forth all the time. So maybe the full package would work. Or at least one & the other.

Anyone else look for one and find something worth while?

The car charger I got is the universal one from Verizon. Got it when I got my phone.

That's what I did. I was happy that the cigarette lighter plug will go up to 1000mA, because the Droid needs more than the standard USB 500mA current draw.

Same here. Universal. "Fits most micro USB charging ports"

Yeah, my Droid came with it in the box!

i'm waiting for details on this. i hope the "included" car charger will not just be an additional cable but a connection like the multimedia dock.

Strangely, on youtube there is no sign of a car charger included with the car mount.

I ordered this one from monoprice.

Motorola Car Charger

Cost $3.06 before shipping for two!

Man, I love monoprice. 5.01 for two of those razr2 chargers shipped. Picked up a 3.5 mm to RCA audio cable for my car stereo as well. 5.98 total, excellent.

I was able to get one at Best Buy when i bought the phone

I bought the car mount and the only thing in the box was a piece of plastic that holds the phone and attaches to your car's window. I returned it the same day due to it being almost worthless for the 29.99 plus tax they charge for it.

I think the car dock that Verizon is selling is not the official Motorola one. The confusion I think comes from the fact that the Motorola one, which isn't released yet, will come with a charger.

Car Mount for DROID by Motorola - Motorola USA

See that one says it comes with a rapid car charger but it is still COMING SOON. The one you get from Verizon is a different one and hence no charger, I think.

How much does it need?

I'm thinking of getting something like this, will it be fine?

That is the exact same car cradle you get from vzw, only difference is one comes with a charger and the vzw one doesn't. It is made by Motorola though, says it right on it.

The DARE chargers are suppose to work (same USB), i use a Dare charger for home but i haven't tried my car charger yet.
