  Works for iPhone 3G, 2008-12-31
It arrived within a few days, tested it on my iPhone 3G and it worked.

By the way, I found 3 tips that help extend the iPhone 3G battery life considerably, go to Settings and set the following:

1. Set Wi-Fi: Off
2. Fetch New Data: Hourly (I hook up to my work's exchange email server)
3. General > Network > Enable 3G: Off

Also, if you need speed for web browsing and other apps, then switch on either 3G or Wireless On. I use wireless for performance reasons.

I did some speed tests and found that of the 3 network options I have these were the download speeds:

1. Wireless WiFi - 6Mbits/s (connected to my private home wireless network from a cable service)
2. 3G - 1.2Mbits/s
3. EDGE - 0.18 Mbits/s - I use this for my daily phone calls - works just fine and best option to extend the battery life

Bottom line, when at home and lounging, connect to a power supply and switch on Wi-Fi, when on battery power set settings as mentioned. Enjoy your iPhone.

  Great product. Works PERFECTLY with my 3G iPhone 2nd Gen, 2008-12-18
This charger works JUST FINE. plugged it into my car, then connected my 3G iPhone 2nd Gen - and my phone immediately beeped and started charging. This has worked time and again, with no issues since I bought it a week ago.

If this didn't work for someone then they might have gotten the wrong product or perhaps their unit was defective (hey - it does happen). I'm very pleased with this and the price is good.

  charger doesn't work for iphone 3g, 2008-12-07
Car Charger for Apple 3G iPhone, Black

the charger red indicator light just flashes rapidly and will not charge the 3g iphone. tried it in 2 cars and 3 different outlets. my experience is duplicated in the reviews for this same? charger by Lux case. e-mailed PC Microstore and awaiting response. Hoping for replacement and the satisfaction of the 5star reviews I see here.

  Very well with iphone 3G, 2008-11-23
The connection fits nicely and securely to the in-car cigarette lighter. The long wires allow the phone to be stretched to a desired cradle in the car.

  Generic Car Charger, 2008-11-21
Good value for the money. Why spend the extra money for the premium product when this generic version works just as well!
