Came in very handy
I knew I was going Amsterdam and access to plug sockets was going to be difficult at times. My HTC Desire S is battery hungry when running apps that use background data and satellite services. Although slow to charge, this handy charger kept me and my mate moving.

Almost faultless
Bought this for my Sony Ericson Xperia Mini Pro - nice little mobe with unavoidably poor battery life. Works very well, and holds it charge nicely too, and will now be invaluable for my HTC Desire S. Only downside - the charge indicator lights tell me nothing at all. Not a major problem - if I can't remember how many times I've used it, it's a poor show! - but stopped it getting 5 stars.

An absolute life saver
I bought the USB Turbo charger to take on my Trek up Kilimanjaro. It didn't dissapoint. I managed to charge my iPod a couple of times, my 2 phones as well as other peoples phones and a mini camcorder. The lights let you know how much charge is left so i had no problems letting others have a bit of my power.
It was invaluable to our survival/sanity up the mountain and i would highly recommend it.

Works OK, but need Micro-USB
I got this to charge my HTC desire, which had a nasty habit of running out of juice. This is a great alternative to running a laptop in my bag for impromptu charging in emergencies, and the build quality is pretty decent. It's covered in a sexy rubber finish like you'd find on a ThinkPad.
Downsides: Blue LED's make it look chintzy, like something you'd buy at a market. And to charge it you need to use either the provided Mini-USB adapter or your own. The retractable cable is pretty cheap - I would have prefered a simple short cable. This would be much better if it charged over Micro-USB rather than Mini-USB which was deprecated in 2007 - Micro plug design is rated for at least 10,000 connect-disconnect cycles which is significantly more than the Mini plug design. It's the standard used on most new phones from HTC, Blackberry, Motorola, Nokia, LG, Hewlett-Packard, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, etc.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Serial_Bus#USB_Mini_and_Micro_connectors for more details.

Delighted......
Although I have it only one day, the Turbo Charger equals my hopes and surpasses my expectations. It does everything you said it would ----- so far! Just what I need and what I could have done with long ago! I have no hesitation in recommending it as a Smartphone accessory. I'd go so far as to call it a 'must have!'

Brilliant USB Turbo Charger
This device is fantastic for people on the move. I bought it for fishing trips when my phone normally runs flat - now I can stay in touch AND recharge my IPod ! 10 out of 10 for this easy to use power on the move charger.

A "must have" for today's smart phon
After using my new HTC Desire for a week or so I was worried about how heavy it was on the battery. I was conserned about getting caught out with low battery power when ther was no possibility of mains charging. MobileFun.co.uk came to my aid. I chose this device for quality and durability, I was not disappointed. Another quality product backed by top customer. I strongly recommend this to anyone.

Really nice product
I have used it for my HTC DESIRE, and the product can fully charge my phone at least three times until it has to be recharged in the outlet from the wall.
I can really recommend this Turbo Charger. Its worth the money all the way...

Update from previous review
Oh dear. After working so well for a couple of months, it has now packed in and refuses to charge. Have checked with several cables and power sources in case of a fault there, but no. It's the battery pack. I have charged my phone no more than 6 times with this. Very poor for Ģ25. There are now power packs out there around the 5000mAh mark, costing more like Ģ40 but I'm going to try them to see if the extra Ģ buys reliability. I'm just thankful I discovered the fault before I need this in an emergency.

I have the POWER !!
Bought this for my juicy old HTC Desire but found it can charge/ power my DS lite too ! Smiley faces all round as I lost my charger for the DS.
Quality feel , all black and rubbery, and more Ah than most. Fits in your pocket like a medium size phone.
Gucci piece of kit !

A smart phone owners "Must Have".
I own a HTC Desire. A fantastic phone but a thirsty one. For those occaisions when I'm away from a charger for more than 12 hours, this fella is a life saver. Sure, you can get your smart phone to last longer by turning off all the toys, but then why did you buy a smart phone in the first place? Toys, right?
As always, a shout goes out to Mobilefun for the fastest delivery around. 10 out of 10.
This charger pack is small, light-weight, yet very well made with a nice rubber finish. It comes about 75% charged so it's ready to go out the box, and charges my Desire as fast as my mains adapter does.
Nice to see it comes with a carry pouch and all the adapters you could ask for. It will even work with my hands free bluetooth speaker and my x-mini speaker!
A very simple solution, very well made and well priced. Get one!

Excellent product
Bought this one to replace my older version of the same unit whose battery was starting to degrade. It's now a sleek satin black affair, my old one was black, and comes in a nice bag to store all the bits for it in. Also there's now LEDs to see how much charge there is left
Can't recommend this enough to people looking for a backup power supply to charge your gadgets from.
