Nokia Universal Portable USB Charger DC-18 Overview - Nokia
Some of you may remember seeing this before, but for those of you who haven't the link above should tell you all about it. I really liked this when I first read about it a few months ago and that was when I wasn't even part of the whole Windows Phone ecosystem (I now own an amazing 920 with the wireless charging stand). While there are plenty of portable universal chargers out there, the colours and the shape of this (and the dc-16) feel every bit windows phone and Nokia.

Anyway, decided to browse the online microsoft store tonight and guess what I found? Both the US and Canadian site offer it for $24 with free shipping which IMO is a pretty good deal and that is the rationale behind this thread. Maybe the deal has been on for a while or maybe it isn't even a "deal" - either way, just thought I'd do my part.

Nice find, the only issue I see is the output -600 mA which means it takes forever to charge your phone.
For a car charger and my 810, Nokia recommends one with an output of 1000mA -because ones lower i.e. 550-600mA take a long time to charge a smartphone
but I can see this thrown in a backpack or purse just in case. :smile:

yeah, I considered this before buying it as well but like you said I just intend to throw it into my backpack.
