I bought the one that comes with a Razr adapter (mini-USB) so that I can charge my phone and BT headset. Then I ordered the Nokia adapter directly from Turbo Charge here for about $5 delivered. The TurboCharge is small and uses a single double-A.
Granted, I did buy my spare wallplug charger for more than the price of the TurboCharge (EUR 19.95), mainly for the Nokia mini adapter, but that one came with a collection of adapters as well (including mini-USB).
I'm now cannibalizing a couple of those adapters to make an extension cable for the AAA-charger, so that i can use the 770 while it's charging.
It's odd to me that even though we have all of this advanced LiIon technology, we buy products that use the good ol' AA.
