I have the BB Storm.

Anyone know if the power cords are the same for the IPhone or Droids?

I am SOO tired of buying extras everytime I buy a new phone.

Just went from BB Curve to iPhone 4 on Verizon. BB does nothing.

AGDLynn, some BB ones are the same as Droid ones, i think it's a Verizon thing maybe? My Droid2 is the same as my Nook, is the same as my coworker's old BB. But no promises. You can always get cheap chargers on the internet.

What about touch keyboards?

I am getting frustrated witht small keyboard on the Storm.

(And I agree about the Internet connection too!)

Mom's old BB charger does not work for her Droid.
iPhone however is the same cord as your iPod/if you have an iHome/charging dock for your ipod

Droid 2 and X have slide out keyboards, it's awesome. Also you can install Swype which is fun too.

My daughter is using her Nook charger for her original Droid. It has the slide out keyboard as well (referring to your other post).

I had picked up a generic USB car charger and I can plug my Droid into that in the car. It works for my Ipod too... it works for anything that has a USB cable that can charge too so I imagine if I ever get a Nook, it will work for that as well.

Android phones and iPhones do not share the same charting ports.

There are also a few discrepancies between Androids, but the vast majority use the same type.

Despite that, none of them will work with the iPhone because APPLE ALWAYS HAS TO BE DIFFERENT/DIFFICULT.

I had no idea that the Driod2 and Nook charger worked on each other, that's amazing to know! Thank you so much!

The boyfriends BB Curve from Verizon (the new one with the trackpad) and my Driod 2 are the same. The iPhone has it's own charger that isn't compatible at all with any non-Apple products.

I just bought a spare Nook charger since they're only 15 bucks and mine crapped out (they're replacing it though) so I just wanted an extra backup for both phone and Nook

They're all "USB_________" I just forget what the blank is.

I have more spare Droid chargers then I can count because the Blackberry I had before the Droid the charger works for the Driod, the boyfriends Blackberry, both of our bluetooth headset chargers work and my old bluetooth charger works (it is MIA) but it's good to know when I'm in the car and my Nook is on low battery and I'm waiting for him to get off of work I can use the car charger to charge it

I think that I have decided on the Droid 2 Global. If I am interpreting websites correctly, it would be $149.00 from Verizon and free from Sam's Club (when I get a $40) membership.

So..guess it's off to Sam's tomorrow to see about it!

Okay, I got my Droid!

BB Storm charger works!

Having a problem at first getting the home page/icons, etc. Called Tech Support lady who helped and also changed my plan to save more $ when she saw that I don't actually make a lot of calls or send texts.

But I am having a frustrating time. Maybe because I wasn't getting a good network connection but..

I will be on a page and not touch the screen for about 1/2 second and then it goes black and then I have to hit a key on the keypad which brings up the screen with the Unlock icon so I have to swipe that again.

Anyone know why this is happening and (most importantly) how to stop it? Or is it just a learning curve?

I will be in the car for about 4 hours today (depending on how much hubby vs me drives.) so I can practice.

Lynn: You can change the screen time out length. Touch the applications icon and find Settings. Choose Display, then Screen Timeout. You don't want to make it too long or you risk butt dialing people/opening apps without meaning to, etc. But, when it is too short, it's annoying. I have mine set to 1 minute and am considering 2 minutes instead.
