Hi there... First post

I ordered my X5 last week and it has already shipped! Woo hoo! I'm now searching for gadgets to buy... I've already bought a 256 SD card and screen protectors.

Has anyone tried one of those 3 in 1 hotsync/USB/Car chargers? They go on ebay for about $9.00 and I'm wondering if they're complete junk or not. My guess is they are but it will allow me to have another sync cable and a way to charge on the road.

Thanks!

Neil

I have the one from moonlight technologies and it works great.

I bought a USB charger/sync cable.

As a note, ALWAYS use this with the dimmest brightness. The USB will supply enough voltage but the amperage just isn't there. Also if you have to charge it up via this cable, make sure it is off. I think that it will be fine doing a quick sync but when it gets below about 55%, it start to suck the battery.

Bottom line, leave it off when charging. Once the unit comes up to about 85% charged, you can leave it on and connected.

Just my personal experience and with the shortfalls of the power, I still love the cable. Better that buying a second power supply and cable or cradle.
