Works flawlessly and quickly for me!
User: Robert Robinson, Jul 7, 2009
Pros: Fast, nice coil cord, solidly built, easy to plug in and remove.
Cons: The blue glow may annoy (or interfere with) some.
It is rated as a high-power charger yet I could not find an output rating anywhere. I would recommend this unit. The blue-glowing "M" for Motorola looks cool but Im not sure why someone would design an in-car device that illuminates so. Nonetheless since I use a multiport 12V adapter below the dashboard the light isnt too distracting. Honestly, if it gets in the way, a bit of electrical tape can tone down the glow.
Works Fine

Bought for my pre after trying several others and this one works great, no delay when charging. Charges fast while using navigation/pandora.
Does not keep with Sprint NAV & readable brightness
User: Tom Scott, Aug 23, 2010
This charger works fine unless you go on a long trip with the Sprint NAV running and screen brightness turned up for dayllight viewing. Then it doesnt keep up at all. Add driving through low signal areas where you are switching back and forth between roaming and you better turn somehting off or you will have a dead battery.
Doesnt work reliably
User: L Soong, Jun 15, 2009
Bought two of these for my pre and they dont work reliably. You have to plug in the charger multiple times before the pre will start charging. Ive also tried the Rocketfish Micro-USB car charger, and that doesnt work at all. Ended up having to buy the Palm Car Charger because it works without any hassle.
Dont Rely on This One
User: Pam Subjek, Sep 13, 2009
Pros: If it doesnt charge, then the pros dont matter.
Cons: -
It charges about one out of every five attempts.
Any Pre owner knows how quickly the battery power drops after intense but normal use. I was out in my car one afternoon recently and started attempting to charge my Pre using the Motorola charger when battery power was at 60. I tried for hours to get it to charge, and only when it reached 5 did the charger kick in. At that point, I could only use the phone while it was plugged in, which is a nightmare to do with the usb connector sticking out 90 degrees from the phone. Why didnt Palm put the connector site on the bottom?????
I trired two different sockets in my late model car, tried sockets in a dealership new loaner car, and I tried it inside my house plugged into a DC adaptor, and it still only works a very small percentage of the time.
So much for off-label use. I guess its all Palm accessories now.
