My results are different. My BoxWave cable for my 8525 actually is usable with my Motorola S9/820 bt headphones and my Holux "lipstick" gps. I bought 2 usb battery packs...APC and JavoEdge. The APC is ONLY chargeable via regular usb cable whereas the JavoEdge battery (same ah I think) recharges with either sync/charge cable or just charge cable. The JavoEdge also has an "eyelet" at top so you could (hang on...I know this is uber-geeky) attach it to lanyard around your neck and use your phone/camera/etc. while recharging. I like this versatility a lot....and my wife really likes the new setup (passing wife test is always a good thing) as there is less crap everywhere and it actually looks kinda sorta elegant. My phone has like 4 radios on it (gps, ir, wifi, cellular, bt) and sometimes you never can be sure if your battery is going to last. It's good to know that with a minimal amount of stuff I can never again have to worry about running out of juice at critical moments (miss the camera shot, etc.). cheers, mike Jonathan Greene wrote: > My Boxwave has been flaky...
