This charger appears to be identical to the one that came with the phone new. I had to replace it because my puppy damaged it, not because it broke. It's called a travel charger, but it's the only one I use. I don't ask much of a charger--just do what it was designed for, without fuss. This one works just fine, the plug is lightweight enough not to fall out of the outlet, and it didn't cost much. What more would I want?
