1 - Charge daily
2 - During the day, I charge using my work laptop with the original USB cable provided with my BB. At night, I charge with the A/C adapter.
3 - I own too many USB cables to count - way too many.
4 - The only other use that I found for my BB USB cable is that it's compatible with my 1st generation Dell DJ, so I can transfer music files and charge the DJ.
5 - None yet. I refuse to let my battery get low.

5) Spending 30 mins looking for a functional pay phone in the HRL airport at 10:00 pm on Sunday night to let my boss know I finally got in (very late thanks to Southworst). Ended up borrowing the dude at the rental car counter's BB Pearl - which, naturally, had 3 bars left and he claimed he hadn't charged it since 2 days previously. I am buying a BB Curve 8310 as soon as they hit 10/11 on AT&T.

1) Everyday, its a must. At home, at work, in the car everywhere I can
2) PC/notebook, wall, car
3) 6 or more. It seems like everytime you get a new device you get a USB charger
4) Camcorder, digital camera, mp3 players, etc..
5) I'm in healthcare. It's imperitive that I have a working phone at ALL times. I left for work one morning and forgot every charging cable I owned for my BB curve. I worked well into the late evening. The phone had powered down, and I had no way of recharging my BB. To make matters more complex I was on call and Had no way for anyone to contact me. So, I spent the entire night in the hospital. This could have been avoided if I had the dockey. I could have powered up on any computer in a flash.

Thats easy. My lack of a charged battery cost me about 2.1 million on two deals... I thought I had things sewn up on a competitive situation and decided to go golfing that day. Unbeknownest to me, my old USB blackberry cable was faulty and didnt make a proper connection to charge my phone. Since I had my phone on quiet while I was asleep, I didnt change it back to loud (otherwise I would have heard the low battery alert). Here is the funny thing, I had a FREAKING car charger and didnt even use it. I arrive to the golf course and decide to check my email only to find out that my battery is about to die and my radio off. I play the remaining holes (we were in a 4some and the golf course was crowded) and arrive back to the home office to find about 20 voicemails from my associates SCREAMING about how to contact me (my wife received some messages and she thought something was wrong). I learn later that had I had my BB charged, I would have gotten early indication of a customer entertaining a competitor.

Since that time I charge my BB with a piety that is borderline insane.

5) Share an experience relating how the lack of charging and thus low battery impacted your day.
As I mentioned in my previous answer i have a two year old. We have a nightly routine before he goes to bed that includes my Blackberry 8703e. I give him a bath, read him a few books and then we use the Blackberry. We do two things with it - we listen to his favortie ringtones that I downloaded (Elmo, Blues Clues, etc.) and then we call Daddy and say good night because Daddy works in the evening. This particular night I had just gotten back from out of town and had forgotten to bring any chargers with me. My phone was dead. It probably wouldn't have been that big of a deal if he just couldn't listen to the ringtones but he also couldn't call Daddy and say good night. We don't have a land line so he was absolutely hysterical about it. It broke my heart into a million little pieces. I have extra chargers everywhere now and if I happen to forget one when I go out of town - I buy it!

5) Share an experience relating how the lack of charging and thus low battery impacted your day.
-Always at school, I have class from 9 am to 7 pm and alot of the buildings have crummy service, thus taking my battery down faster. I would like to, but can't, always carry the big BB USB cable around. I would LOVE the DOCKEY so I could use my BB as my flash drive and carry my essays and print other stuff easily through our school computers and charge it whenever on the school computers without the big BB cable in my pocket.

THANKS PPL AT DOCKEY and PINSTACK
