Anyone know how long this thing takes to charge a Blackberry? Is the 3-4 hours in the review a standard guestimate?

These look pretty nifty! Just ordered one. I hope I get black (although white might better for sitting in the sun). $6.79 shipping, $1.87 tax (why I rarely order from Buy.com), but with the extra $1.00 off (thanks for that too!), $27.65. Not bad.
Report back what color you got, I'm curious of the ratio.

Got one; thanks. Used the promo code here for an additional 5% off. (Hey, a buck's a buck!)

it says it's for select customers who got the email, but it worked for me anyway

I've got one sitting right in front of me -- it came Friday, but I haven't had a chance to play with it yet. Mine is black, about the size of a passport. It feels well made -- the hinge to open it is solid with no looseness or wobble. There's no direct sun or bright light in my office, so I can't tell what it will do. I've just plugged in my cellphone and it doesn't recognize it as a charger. Same for my Blackberry, though both the phone and BB are already fully charged.
Wait as sec . . . I'll take it over to the window . . .
Well, no direct sunlight at my windows, so no change. Later in the day, I get sun, so I'll try it again then.
