This charger is really handy and works well. The device I charge my BlackBerry and Android simultaneously because via the USB port, a second mobile phone can be conveniently loaded. Very good even when a colleague has here on business, the need to reload and sometimes fast. The retractable cord works fine. Although the price is a bit above the normal simple adapters, the extra cost is justified. The adapter is not remarkably warm, which is the case with making cheap solutions. A strong buy recommendation!
