depends on how long you are going for .. thurs to Monday or less ?

I think my portapow one is really good, getting over 2 full charges from it so far and I like the draw-string case carried to neoprene one with pebble to give me storage for the tips I need.

Yeah teh drawstring case/bag is awesome, means i can carry the charger extensions and charge other things to (and an extra usb cable!)

a little drawstring bag would be ideal for the extensions with the pebble but there isnt one included, i sorted this out with a spare one i found from and old bluetooth headset.

Also gave the desire another 15%-100% charge today via the pebble took around two hours again with the pebble going down to the mid level light after around 45min. According to this i would expect to get around 5 charges out of it.

Just spotted this. I might give it a go.

Lekky, can I just ask you to confirm which one you have? Is it the Proporta or the PortaPow?

 

[lekky]

i have the proporta.

Hah before u asked this i thought they were both the same!

Thanks a lot! It's between that one and the pebble one for me! Thanks again!

what also swung it for me was the fact with the Portapow one I could get extra tips for other devices as well, so I got a small nokia one for my work phone and one for the missus nintendo too ... dont know if you can get that with the pebble ?

So I know have back up battery for devices in my house,all of which will be going on holiday with us in the summer, but now for the lot I only need to take one wall plug and use the cable that came with the portapow to charge the lot and have an emergency supply for the plane/airport should I need it ... good times :

Archos 5 Internet Tablet x 2 (will be used for video, ebooks, wifi in hotel, etc)
HTC Desire x 2 (phone only use when abroad)
Creative Vision M x 2 (use at the pool & beach music only)
Nokia phone x 1 (hopefully they wont call me when on holiday lol)
Nintendo DS x1 (to play my mates kids)
PSP x 1 (to play my mates kids)

I can confirm that the pebble does come with extra tips to charge other devices aswel un-sure about charging a nintendo ds but will charge nokia. Am I right in saying that phone companies are starting to use the same connection to charge no matter what brand for example my desire and then the 2 blackberries we have are all micro usb

Most of the big brands have signed up to standardise mobile handset connectivity by way of micro usb, yes. Its a shame for me that they didn't pick mini-b as most other portable devices use this.

Do you get 5 charges from the pebble?
I am interested in getting one but.... i just dont know

So far I have got for out of it and it is now on The low light fingers crossed I will get one last charge out of it before charging

Can you let me know if you manage to get another full charge please?
In your opinion... is it worth it?

 

[doad13]

Yeah i shall keep you updated as to whether I get another charge out of it. And in my opinion yes. It's a brilliant device it does exactly what it is required to do and does it fast. I can't fault it personally other than not being supplied with a carry bag for the adaptor other than that is money well spent.

 

[Tyseyh]

Thanks a lot for the info il keep an eye on this Thread.

Why is the battery in the Desire so bad? I mean the iphone4 is very similar in battery spec (talktime etc) but that's considered a great battery?!

 

[Tyseyh]

i guess when you think about everything the phone is doing the battery isnt bad
But when you think of it like a phone wanting a charge every 24-28 hours is pretty bad id say.

All Android really need to do Is in their next update tweak their system to use less battery, I'm sure they can do it. its like when Windows vista came out for pc it was a memory loggers eating loads of RAM unnecessarily and then they brought out Windows 7 which fixed this issue .

 

[Stretlow]

Can one of you kind chaps please point me in the direction of a the correct spare identical battery that wont blow my phone up or dent my pocket .

I reckon one spare battery will be enough for me

An about the spare battery im not too sure, tried HTC's Website?

 

[HellsBells]

Those of you who have bought the proporta 3400 charger, how many charges are you getting? I'm only getting 1 and a half, if that.
