I have tried different chargers now, and most of them were cheaply made and flimsy to use. Often they also take extremely long to charge. Even the charger from Sanyo got several bad reviews.
Judging from the iPod chargers, I expect the Apple battery charger to be very solid and well built. Take in the low standby power draw and the nice design, and I'm sold. The batteries are worth about 10€, which leaves the charger at 19€. That seems to be absolutely reasonable to me, although the comments suggest most Engadget readers to be the biggest cheapskates since Scrooge McDuck. I don't know about you, but I'm not buying a new battery charger very often.

This is the first white iPhone that I actually like! The previous generations with their black/chrome front and contrasting white back just didn't look right. This one however reminds me of my first iPod 5GB and I really love it! But 650€ is a lot ...
