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? ---

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

Ya it would be a great day when I can charge my iPhone, Bluetooth headset, and laptop all with the same cable. [http://www.amazon.com/Dynamo-Hand-Crank-Phone-Emergency-Charger/dp/B002RRHZIO/ref=pd\_sbs\_sg\_5](http://www.amazon.com/Dynamo-Hand-Crank-Phone-Emergency-Charger/dp/B002RRHZIO/ref=pd_sbs_sg_5) That would be cool. Hand crank with USB port since most phones usually can have a USB cable that plugs into them now.
