i ordered a car charger for a particular Nokia phone, because i left the charger overseas. Was suprised at the VERY low price, but the shipping and handling is where these people make their money. So when the info on their site was bad, the charger did not work and guess who carries the bag? A charger for 2 bucks and a 8 buck shipping, now if i pay $5 more i can send it back and maybe end up with the right charger, MAYBE. All this taking weeks to accomplish. Does your time have any value???? Don't order from them if it does.

Even with the shipping it was cheaper than the stores, and it actually works with my phone! Unlike one purchased from a retail outlet that did not work, even though it promised it would.

Although I appreciate having a car charger this item get a three because the description indicated it was both a bluetooth and a cell phone charger. Wrong! It's only good for the cell phone.

good replacement - Review written on August 24, 2006

Rating: 5 out of 5

I bought this charger to replace both my original Nokia cellphone charger and another replacement charger from Monster Cable. This charger is much better than what I had before. It is very sturdy and the wires do not pull out of the base as in my original charger. Also the connection between the charger and my cellphone is good and I don't have to worry about it not charging whenever I move my phone around. It charges up my phone pretty fast, and unlike the Monster Cable charger (which charged fast but caused the battery to drain faster), the battery holds its charge pretty well. I think this is a reliable charger and I'm happy with it.

I ordered this from Amazon and it is exactly what I needed for my new Nokia phone. This exact charger was selling at my local cellular phone dealer for $29.95. I went home, typed in the item #, and sure enough found it on Amazon for much less! It is a great deal and has kept my phone charged while on the road.
Doesn't work with your NOKIA 6102 cell phone! - Review written on February 25, 2006

I'm in the middle of my pregnancy, so I really need a car charger!
Amazon's description said this model was compatible with my NOKIA
6102 flip cell phone, but it isn't it has the standard regular size tip for charging, which would work with most NOKIA cell phones prior to the NOKIA 6102 flip phone! The NOKIA 6102 flip cell phone has a new smaller charger end, so with all due respect might I suggest that someone grab a NOKIA 6102 flip cell phone, and the above car charger to see that they are "NOT" compatible, to help prevent this in the future! Because I am still pregnant and I still need a car charger, for my NOKIA 6102 cell phone!
I due honestly appreciate the fact that Amazon at least paid for the return shipping, since the charger wasn't compatible!

Using this charger for my Nokia 6600. It's hard for a charger to be reviewed. It either works, or doesn't work. Happily in this case, it works exactly as advertised. It charges the phone and lets you use the phone while being charged. It has a long cord and generally is the perfect automobile compliment to your Nokia phone.

I bought this charger primarily for road trips. It takes me about 1 1/2 hour to charge my phone, and hence you might not need it that much if all you do is commute. It does however add the advantage of unlimited talk time in your car, whenever you do need it.

The charger has a very solid feel, and it appears to be very good craftsmanship. It has proven to be very durable. I've owned and frequently used this charger for more than 2 1/2 years now, and I've never had anything go wrong with it. In my opinion, it works better than you could expect after that long of a time. It's been kept in my car permanently since I bought it, and by that has been exposed to excessive Arizona heat for weeks on end. With the desert heat comes the cooldown at night, so the temperature difference it's been exposed to has also been great. The charger has a convenient, little light to show you when it's charging.

The charger's cord is a "feisty" one, so don't expect it to be too cooperative if you try to stretch it very far.

All in all a charger you should expect to charge your Nokia phones (no surprises there?) for a long, long time, no matter what you put it through. The charger is very reliable and durable, and I highly recommend it. 5 STARS!!!

We upgraded phones and I needed a charger for my car so I orderd one for my car and at the price Amazon had it for what a deal. Also, it shipped very quickly. Then my husband borrowed mine and I had to order another for him. So we have two of them and they both work very well and we are pleased with their performance. These are fast chargers and they work very well. I had heard,however, that fast chargers are not good for cell batteries. That they can wear out your batteries faster but was not sure so if you have any doubts ask your phone dealer or battery provider.

I needed a car charger for my Nokia phone but did not want to pay [$$$] for one at the celluar stores. The cord is a little short but this is fine with me since it still reaches the passenger seat or the cup holder. It serves its purpose. It's nice not having a long cord in the way. Thanks!!

My phone seemed to only lose it's charge when I happened to be in my car. I thought my provider was going to supply me with a mobile charger but nope just the standard home A/C model. I searched for a mobile charger directly from Nokia and couldn't believe the price they wanted for it! I figured I would just make do without one. That was until I found this one. I have had no problems with it what so ever. I don't see how you possibly could. Just simple quick recharging power on the go.

The little black tip on the end of the charger snapped off inside my 8260 leaving it unable to be charged with either the car charger or the wall charger. The ATT store couldn't extract the piece and told me this was common for this charger and phone after 1 1/2 yrs. More of a hassle than I'd expect. Sure, it worked fast but I'm bothered by what seems planned obsolescence by the manufacturers at Nokia. I don't like having to get a new phone or accessories every couple of years. Thumbs down on the durability.

I've had a Nokia 6185 phone for over 3 years. In that time I've owned 4 car chargers. I was sucked into the ... allure of the 10-12 dollar ones sold at the big mass merchant stores. These things are junk. Don't reliably charge the phone and are flimsy and break all the time. After getting one that wouldn't charge out of the box and returning it for one that would charge once in a while (and finally died after a couple months) I recieve a new Nokia one with my latest phone (Nokia 3285). What a difference. Works like a charm, is sturdy, and did I mention it's sturdy!!! Wish the cord was a bit longer but other than that it's great.

I got my Nokia 252 last month and needed a charger for the car. I had a hard time finding a reasonably priced one until I found this one. It works great ! The only complaint I have is that the cord is not very long - but since I live in New York State and it is illegal to talk and drive at the same time - I have to pull over to talk - so the inconvenience of the short cord is miniscule.

Charging my phone in the house with the charger that comes with it takes several hours. By using the car charger the job is done while I travel to work and it is available to use at the same time. Others have said they wanted the cord to be longer but I found it to be perfect for reaching the outlet in my PT Cruiser and my husband agrees in his Dodge Dakota. This is a great product that I would highly recommend.

This charges my Nokia 5165 within about 30 minutes. The plug fits my car (1993 SAAB 9000) and the cord is long enough that I can use the phone while driving (unless you're a PA trooper, in which case I mean while I'm safely parked off the highway!)

Sleek, unobtrusive, works fine, cord just right size for my intended use. The cord is short enough so it stays where it belongs and doesn't dangle all over the place. Just right for backup use during a trip, and it charges the battery quickly. I'm glad I bought it!

This charger helps you charge your battery on the go! No time to stick around the house and wait for the other charger to work and your spare battery is at the office. This gives me added piece of mind when i travel because i know my phone will always be there for me when i need it if i get stuck on side of road! everyone needs a car adapter... that is unless you don't have a car!

The Nokia Charger works great compared to many chargers I have used before. I previously had an analouge Motorola phone and had one of those chargers that plugged into an outlet in your house and would take all night to charge for a usage of under 8 hours. It became a real pain. So I went out and bought a Nokia 5120i and bought this charger. My phone didn't lose power for days, but when it did, I plugged in the charger and it started the job. When you plug the large end into the cigarette charger in your car, there is a little light that comes on to let you know that there is power going through the charger. Than you plug the small end into a hole in the phone. If your phone is on, you will recieve a message saying "Charger Connected" and than another message 5 seconds later saying "Charging." Then the charger starts the job. If your phone is down to the last quarter of energy, it will take approx. 30 minutes to charge full. THATS FAST. If you have 3/4 of the energy it will take about 2-10 minutes to charge full. And the battery will continue to last for a long time. Just keep charging whenever energy is lost. I have had this phone and charger for over one year and have had no problems. One complaint of many people is that the cord is too short. Well for me its not. I have a Chrysler Concorde and the phone reaches fine. The cord will stretch between 1 to 2 1/2 feet. So that should answer your question. If you have any other questions, I recommend that you contact Nokia.

While this is really just a simple cell phone charger- I must say-the cord is just too short to be useful while using the phone. I own an SUV, the cigarette lighter is rather low to the floor - I suppose my complaint should be with the car manufacturer. The cord makes it uncomfortable because its just a bit too short, I can only use this cord while speaking on my right. However, this OEM cord is much better than others I had bought before it.

The device is too long to plug in to the lighter of my 1997 Buick Le Sabre. Probably many other make/models as well.

Are there adaptors available somewhere?
