Know your USB type

If you have a BlackBerry from the 88xx, 83xx, Bold 9000, and younger series, you have a Mini USB port. If you have any of the newer models, including the Pearl flip, Tour, Bold 9700, Storm, or new Curve series (including 8900), you have a Micro USB port. Keep this in mind when choosing a charger.
If you find a charger you like and it’s Mini USB, you can get a Mini-USB to Micro-USB adapter. It also allows you to use your old charging apparatus.
Basic and cheap

Car mount

The favorite is still the Carcomm Mobile PDA cradle. It’s straight forward, simple, and basically ready out of the box. You can even hook it straight up to your car’s power system, as to avoid the long USB cord. If you want something a bit fancier, Cooper likes the Mr. Handsfree Genius Bluetooth Carkit. You’ll spend a bit more time setting it up, but once you do it does a lot more than the Carcomm kit.
Choices abound
The search for the right car charger might seem a bit daunting, what with all the choices. Keep it simple, though. Know what you’re looking for and know your price range before you go shopping. Once you find one that fits your criteria, read the relevant reviews,google it, and go from there. You’re bound to find one that fits you perfectly.
