The Sidewinder

I was looking for a hand crank generator when I stumbled upon the Sidewinder handcrank cell phone charger. I thought “SWEET” and ordered it. It came in today with 5 adaptors that apparently don’t fit ANY cell phone I can find. I tried a bunch of coworkers cell phones with no liuck. WTF?!? Maybe that is why it was so cheap, it was made for cell phones in India or China or something.:gotme:

Anyone ever buy one of these? Does it work with your phone?

lol are you serious? You bought a hand crank cell phone charger?

I bought it for a project I am working on so STFU. :slight_smile: I wasn’t actually going to charge my phone with it but I expected it to be possible.

Ya kook. :stuck_out_tongue:

^Thanks for making me look bad. lol No one here has any of those obscure phones.

NEXT QUESTION: Why the f*ck doesn’t every company just use the same damn style?!?

a lot companies are starting to adopt micro-usb as standard

^That’s what I have! I can’t believe the sidewinder doesn’t have that. I already cut the cord and started modding it. :smiley:

Heh. Yeah, most of the phone models I recognized from the list I remember from ca. 2003.

Ya it would be a great day when I can charge my iPhone, Bluetooth headset, and laptop all with the same cable.

That would be cool. Hand crank with USB port since most phones usually can have a USB cable that plugs into them now.
