I have an employer-provided cell phone (at the beginning I thought they were being nice :)). I also have one employer-provided charger, and I would sometimes forget the charger at the office or at home, and my battery would run out. So, I dediced to look for the cheapest charger I could find (since the office manager stated they did not provide extra chargers). I was hesitant becuase of the price, but I have to say that it is a great charger. It is not as sturdy as the one that came with the phone, but it does the job. I would highly recommend this charger.By the way, my phone is a Blackberry Pearl 8100.If you need an extra charger for home / work, this should do it.
