    Nice to have a travel charger. However, why on earth does this charger only come with one clip, i.e., ACC-62177-001 with NA clip, ACC-62455-001 with EU clip, and ACC-62456-001 with UK clip??? If it would come with all 3 clips it would indeed be a rapid travel charger. Since it does not, it's nothing more than a rapid charger.

    Keep in mind, that this is also a Qualcomm QuickCharge certified charger. The first, from BlackBerry.

    Unless I "travel" only domestically, this thing is useless. Qualcomm 2.0 chargers I can get many and cheaper. Blackberry had multiple "international" / "travel" chargers with several adapters in the box before, so why such nonsense now?

    I'm curious - do you have a link. I did not find any rapid charger on BB's shop site.

    In the meantime, I've been using my Playbook charger. And whenever I've traveled to Europe, I just used a plug/prong adapter without issues.

    What's the difference between this 40 dollar charger and the 8 dollars one on amazon? I see no difference in the price gap

    The BRANDing probably accounts for the price difference. Possibly more reliable parts inside?

    Probably have not updated the website for it yet? I did go there the other day for find a Slimport Adapter. But that charger is not there.

    As for a Slimport adapter, the Crackberry shop in Canada has one but not the US site!

    2.0 chargers are great - basically the 1%/minute when your charge is low...seems to slow down as it tops off. I wouldn't buy a bbry one at that price...probably just branded oem.

    Hi Dan!

    Yes, it is QC 2.0! You can actually see it labeled on the sticker in the first picture.

    Hi, when you have the time for it, I would be interested in seeing a similar test as the one I did re: the charging measurements.
    I did one for Aukey's QC charger and I wasn't impressed.
    Here are my test numbers: http://forums.crackberry.com/blackbe...l#post12327416

    Have you been able to test it out? I'm very interested, but I would like to see what difference it offers to the 15 dollar ones on amazon

    You are paying a premium for a design that will wind up in the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA)

    But the fact that it can be broken down into two smaller pieces makes it more suitable for traveling, I guess. Folding prongs are also a nice way to reduce travel size but this way they can make one larger piece and have different plug ends to reduce overall manufacturing costs.

    Err, do not pay 40 dollars for a QC2.0 charger. Amazon got the Aukey QC2.0 chargers that are super nice for like 16 bucks...

    I see, your car has a plug type A socket. What, however, do you do if you leave your home and car and fly to the UK, continental Europe, Singapore etc? Even though the charger is named "travel charger", it only comes with one plug.
