Deal for fellow "frugal" users

[techjpo]

Just came over to Android from BB(an old curve) and couldn't stomach having to buy yet another car charger. Being the cheapskate that I am, searched around and found that Best Buy's(at least my local one in Pa) cheapest charger was a Rocketfish for $21. While there, I noticed that they had a ton of Rocketfish car chargers for "bluetooth headset (Jabra/Motorola/LG/Plantronics)"on clearance for $9.99. It includes 5 adapters and one is a micro-usb and fits the Incredible. So far it has charged my phone with no issues that I can see. As an added bonus, one of the adapters that can be attached is a standard usb plug in that would allow charging of a lot of other devices. Hope this helps someone out.

Thanks for that tip. I hate spending for these extras too. Hopefully now that everything is going to the standardized to micro USB we can buy these things 1 time and that's it.

does the curve use the same style charger? i know my gf's BB Storm uses the same charger as the Inc.

Since usb chargers appear to be here to stay, I just use a car usb charger. Cheap and works on anything with a usb (both my bt's, my bb, my droid etc.)

I think the official at&t one was $15.

At home I just use the usb cables directly into the nearest laptop.

I was using this for my BB. It works great on my Incredible! $14.99

Has anyone tried a Storm 1 cradle with the Incredible?

Retractable MicroUSB to USB which can then be used with an AC USB head, Cigarette Lighter USB head, or into a computer... $8.95

Amazon.com: Amzer Micro USB Retractable Data Cable (Black): Cell Phones & Service

bought 3 of them... already have several AC and Cigarette heads.

Monoprice is best. I use them for HDMI cables. You can't go wrong.
