Charger Reviews

My wife and I rely on two way radios to contact each other prior to our ride home from work everyday. These units are suppose to have a five mile range. They don't have a three block range. The other audiovox walkies (which stopped working after almost three years) had double the range (and were rated @ two miles). Also the power on/off button is also a channel scanner. With the leather carring case on, the power off button if not pressed hard enough starts to scan the channels instead of turning off the unit. Very annoying. The manufacture didn't do their homework in designing these. I thought new generation walkies would continue to improve, not get worse. I'm taking these back to the store. Anyone knowing a better unit out there with a charging base, please recommend it.

I figured it would work with my Treo 300 since most accessories seem to work with all Treo flavors. However, it would charge, but the hotsync did not work.

I did not realize that the Canon digital camera that I ordered through Amazon came with its own battery charger. I attempted to contact J&R Music World to get a return authorization, and after many phone attempts, I gave up. No one would answer their customer service phone. I then attempted to get this authorization via their web site (as they recommended), and I sent them all pertinent details with the return authorization request. They ignored my E-mail and never responded. I will never buy another item from them. I am now stuck with an unneeded battery charger and out the $44.78 charged by them.

I own a Canon ES8600 camcorder which is a fantastic deal for the price ($270). What blows me away is how Canon has the nerve to then charge $165.00 for an adaptor to charge your camcorder battery in your car. An item like that costs only a few dollars in parts and labor, but because it's proprietary (menaing you can'y buy generic parts and make one) to Canon's batteries, they feel they can justify the cost. This is dissapointing to say the least. There isn't much to review; the item charges your battery in your car. Done. $165.00?? Can Canon do more to say "we don't care to be in support of our customers"?

I use to have the old DeWalt DW911 radio where I had to put a coat hanger on to get better reception. I thought that their newer unit would be better reception, boy was I wrong. The antenna is bigger, but I can only move it in 3 -directions, side to side and towards the back. The handle prevents it from going foward. I guess I will have to find a new coat hanger. It came with this plastic CD case holder, but now I have to buy a CD player to go inside.

What a piece of crap! Unfortunately I was not able to find another manufacturer of this type of convenient wall plug-in charger, so I went with the Digipower TC-740. Well, I liked this item until I charged the higher capacity Canon BP-535 battery pack with it. The charger was supposed to be able to charge this battery. But after about 5 minutes, I smelled smoke and the charger was so hot I could not touch it and the plastic appeared to be a little melted. One of the AC prongs was also so loose it was able to spin completely around. I would not recommend this cheap charger, and I wish I could get my money back.

DOES NOT RECHARGE YOUR BATTERY AND IS NOT THE ITEM PICTURED

I know, you were thinking, "This is the ultimate solution. I don't have to drag that damn charging cradle around with me anymore".... sorry!

I have been trying for the last few days to get this thing to work. I don't know, could be that I haven't chanted the correct incantations or sacraficied enough goats - but this things simply won't work as a charger OR synch device.

After having my old phone for 40 years I purchased another model NWB phone and it lasted 5 months. You cannot get through on their help line and they do not answer their e-mail, Buy a NWB phone at your own risk.

I thought this was stereo headphones for palm 600. This is just an adaptor that allows you to plug in mono headphones into a stereo jack. Who would want to listen in mono, worthless accessory, sorry I bought it, will never need it. Don't buy mono headphones.

Just a small adaptor that would cost a few bucks at fry's.
