The 'sidewinder' wind up mobile phone recharger available on the Aeromedix site is in the UK Argos catalogue camping section under another name for £9.99.

I have an LG phone and it does not fit the provided adapters.
Unless I am missing something?

it says it fits most motorola, nokia, samsung, siemens sony ericsson 'and other models'.

looks like yours is not one of the 'other models'.

if you got it at argos just get your money back with their no questions 14 day guarantee.

Go to Wal*Mart, Target, or RadioShaft, and ask if they have adapters. You might have to use more than one, but at some point, the juice should flow. They have tons of aftermarket converters for folks who invested in car charges for their phones only to get a different model later on. Even the cell phone stores might have them.

After owning two different LG cell phone models that had a weak signal and overhearing a Verizon technician saying they were the worst, seeing the low quality of LG room airconditioners and some other LG products, I have come to the conclusion that "LG" must really not stand for "Life's Good." It must be something like "Licks Gonads."

If I am not mistaken their official name is "Lucky Goldstar". I am willing to bet they are made in China. <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
