I just switched from a Blackberry Curve to a new iPhone 3G. Unfortunately, the salesman at AT&T told me any charger that worked on a previous iPod would automatically work on the iPhone 3G. Now that I'm home and doing research, I see that's not the case...

So here's my question: is there any proper cable/adapter for the iPhone 3G that will allow complete functionality, as well as charging, without any error messages or complications, and be reliable and work predictably? From the sounds of things on this forum, the Passport is unreliable and can fry my iPhone. The CableJive doesn't allow complete functionality. And most of the low-price options still show an error message.

Can anyone help?

Do you have a better review than the ones I have read all over this forum?

I personally have the passport, it works fine for me. The only thing I do not like about it, is the fact that it doesn't fit in center console with the iphone (6mt).

my passport worked fine for 6 months, until last week when it fried my iphone . . . at least i suspect it being the cause . . . .

Oh no! Hope it's not the issue because I've got one too.

So far it works fine, but same gripe. Can't put your phone in the center console with it connected.

I thought I heard someone around here say that the new cable that comes in the 09's will charge the 3G. Dont remember where i read it though. Can anyone with an 09 and ipod attachment chime in??

Just wait for iPhone OS 3 to come out because that is what apple is fixing. They are fixing the compatible issues with the accessories with iPhone 3G.

really? i thought the compatibility is a hardware issue . . . . . something about the connector . . . no?

Where did you hear this? Do you have a link to reference this? If I can just wait a few months and the whole problem is solved, that's a much easier option!

It was on the keynote about the new os that is coming out. It will work with everything "MADE FOR IPOD". That is why i am waiting for it to come out.

This is a connector issue and not something the the OS update will fix. The phone will still not charge with an update to the OS.

Sup dude! Long time no see!

Yeah man it does work. It will work on your car dude.

You'll be able to charge your iPhone and play your music in stereo off your iPhone too.

But if you play music from like Pandora APP it will be mono sginal since the default setting for Pandora is streaming in mono and if you try stereo... well it hickups in the stream.

I'm jut worried about XYZs post above lol!
