I don't use an AC charger for my Razr as I am ususally around a computer at some point in the day and just charge from a USB port. I usually have this in my pocket to do so.

I charge my Razr in my car using a vr3 with its USB 1.1 port and the ziplinq cable.

I bought the vr3 as I had a couple of freebie small USB drives hanging around and was driving across the US. It also has a 3.5 mini plug input so I could use almost any audio device and if the audio device charged from usb I also wouldn't have to worry about draining the battery, an ipod Nano works both playing and charging, a ipod shuffle works for sound but can't be charged at the same time as it uses the 3.5 mini plug as its USB port. 

For those that might have a ipod Shuffle and need another cable, these work well,  http://store.mobibluamerica.com/dausca.html  $14.95. 

This is new to me and might be a better way to go as the above cable has a pretty large ferrite bead that isn't shown.
