Getting Dinc, will Blackberry charger be OK

**CSI Guy** · 08-05-2010, 08:11 AM

I am getting my Dinc tomorrow 08/06/2010 and need to know if the Blackberry charger will be OK to use. I have heard that the HTC charger cord is not very long and my Blackberry charger is about twice the length and will be better for me.

I use the charger that came with my Tour at night on the bedstand and keep the HTC as more of a traveling charger. Works fine plus saves me the hassle of unplugging it and taking it to work with me.

It will work fine. I use my Storm 1 data cable, and charger for my Incredible. I have been doing this since the phone was released and no problems.

The charger cord with the D-INC is longer then the charger cord that comes with the DX also

I use the charger that came with the MiFi 2200 and it works well too.

I kept all my spare BB chargers (travel / car / work) - my DI is charging on my old BB charger right now. It was from an old Curve, so I just bought a mini-to-micro USB adapter to fit my DI. Works fine, only difference I see is maybe a bit longer to get to a full charge (BB charger says 700 mA vs. 1 A for the HTC one).

Hey i just charged my Dinc with the Blackberry charger and when it was fully charged it said that "the charger was not compatible with this device please remove before you damage device" what damage could it cause the phone?

**dude0909** · 08-19-2010, 03:54 PM

Yeah when I used to charge my EnV touch with my storm cable it said "This charger may damage your phone" whats all that about?

I read on the phandroid forums that someone destoryed their dinc using their BB cable, but vzw gave them a enw one because they had previously said it was ok.

i hear the storm charger works fine, however, my storm charger was not compatible with my dads bb curve. so not all bb chargers work. some LG chargers will also do the trick (1st gen NV's)

I use a jawbone 550Ma charger w/usb to micro usb cable, 700ma VZW charger and sometimes the 1000Ma HTC charger....of and i also charge off my laptop over the USB at 500Ma.
I always prefer to charge slower if possible to extend battery life.

Fast charging has always been hard on batteries.

Gaurantee it won't damage it unless there was already something wrong with the BB charger but that could happen with any charger if it malfunctions.
The charging circuitry is designed to take USB voltage and any amperage rating up to 1000Ma.
The Blackberry is usually only 700Ma, well within HTC spec.

Micro USB is Micro USB, no matter who makes it.

My storm 1 charger(s) work great. I got this for my car and I recommend it. No problems over the first few months.
