We bought 3 new VX8550 phones when we switched our cell carrier service to Verizon, but I was not about to shell out $90 for three car chargers. These work quite well. They are not as solid feeling as the ones in the Verizon store, but thay are LG branded, so I hope that means they'll be good and not ruin our batteries. So far, so good. The order arrived quickly, with good email communication from the seller.
