Summary: 3 IN 1 CHARGER KIT
Comment: THIS CHARGER KIT DOES NOT WORK. DON'T BUY IT. IT'S JUNK. I HAVE AN IPHONE 3G 16 GB AND UNFORTUNATELY I WAITED UNTIL I WENT ON A TRIP TO USE IT. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I DIDN'T HAVE A PHONE BY THE TIME I GOT THERE AND I CAN'T RETURN IT OR ASK FOR A NEW ONE IN EXCHANGE. I WOULDN'T EVEN GIVE IT ONE STAR BUT IT WOULDN'T LET ME DO THE POST WITHOUT IT. I WON'T BE SHOPPING AT CRAZYONDIGITAL OR AMAZON.

Summary: Piece of garbage
Comment: Falsely advertised. it's not charging my iPhone, not in the car, not from the wall outlet and not transferring the data. Total waste! I would give it 0 stars if I could.

Summary: Doesn't charge my iPhone 3G
Comment: From what I've experienced, the other reviewers are correct: this product is either not designed to charge an iPhone 3G from a wall outlet (the most likely case since the Firewire pinouts were removed for the 3G), or else has such quality control problems that only a minority of wall units sold (judging from the reviews) actually work. The presentation on my iPhone is that the status icon on the top of the iPhone switches to the charging icon, and the full screen image with the green battery bar graph appears. But the unit doesn't really charge. And when you try to "slide to unlock" when connected to the wall charger, the arrow button never slides, and you cannot get to the Home screen (or the Enter Passcode screen if you have a passcode).
There are several online reports to the effect that several generic third-party iPod/iPhone chargers no longer work with the iPhone 3G. That seems to be true here, despite the claims to 3G-compatibilty.
The USB cable should work fine, though you can purchase it very cheaply by itself. I've not tried the car charger, and honestly wasn't in a big hurry to do so since I've traditionally had bad experiences with such devices (although I must admit that today's rechargeable batteries are much more resilient than the NiCads and lead acid gel contraptions that us greybeards started out with in the 1980s).
So your experience may be better, and it's not a major purchase, but since it's claimed that this is iPhone 3G compatible, I'm giving it one star and suggesting you look elsewhere.

Summary: Worked for like a day...
Comment: Well maybe a little longer...I kept this thing at work for emergency charges and used it maybe 10 times before it totally stopped working. It was never moved or abused in any way. Would not recommend.
