Richard Solo 1800 Review/Giveaway

Posted in External Battery, Reviews, Video, contest by Nick. Published February 18th, 2010

Rating: 8.5 out of 10
Pros:
Ability to charge your iPhone 1.5x, Built in flashlight and laser pointer, two models available, lots of accessories included
Cons: $70 is definitely on the high side of external battery packs, 30 pin connector does not work well if using a case.

Overall:
This is a great device, although a bit on the pricey side, but with the current promotion I highly recommend it. If you use any style of case definitely pick up the mini-usb 1800 so the cable allows you to charge and not worry about adding additional stress on the connection.

You can purchase this product directly from RichardSolo.com for $70.
Use promo code “Buymeaniphone” for $20 off this product.

USB – Possible future review: Dexim P-Flip Foldable Power Dock

Also a special request. Perhaps it’s possible to arrange an interview with Richard Thalheimer? Could be interesting to know more about him.

BMack037 says...

USB: nice little product there. I like that their chargers all have an additional function like a flashlight and a laser pointer. I’ve been looking at the BluePack S3 2600 because it’s pretty much universal and it has a nice capacity. Good review, keep up the good work.

Simon Chen says...

USB – I really like the Deluxe See ID DeepPocket Wallet, but RichardSolo don’t shipp to Norway :(

So here is a message to you Richard. Please start shipp to Norway? :)

Doug D says...

USB – Nick, GREAT giveaway, I have been wanting an 1800 sooo bad and can’t get? my hands on one. I sure hope I win!

The Dexim P-Flip looks great as well, I like that it’s a stand and battery backup!

USB – the iPod shuffle Charger looks very innovative. Although I do not own? a shuffle, it is very unique. I also like the dexim docks. I should get one of those, because I have absolutely no speakers or docks what-so-ever.

Grubmeyer says...

USB- I’ve always been interested in the RS series of batteries, Thanks for the review.

After taking a look at the website, I’d be interested to see the performance of the e-blue wireless speakers he’s got available. At work these would be a great thing to have!

Thanks for the giveaway and good luck to everyone!

USB- I love these batteries, also love and use the Dexim dock that flip dock? looks cool too!!

MiPodStuff says...

USB? – I like that Dexim MHub. I like how you don’t have to use a dock adapter on it.

CP1091 says...

USB – Great review! Very informative and descriptive about each device.

Their cy•fi™ Wireless Sports Speaker for Bluetooth looks very interesting. I’d love to see you review that! I’ve never seen a review of wireless speakers.

Their dual dock was also very nice. I have seen a few reviews on it and even went ahead and purchased one! I couldn’t complain, it’s great to be able to charge both my iPhone and iPod at the same? time!

Otto Myrberg says...

USB – The iPhone/iPod Dual Charging Station? looks really cool!

Both Me and my dad has an iPhone so then we can charge the both devices at the same time at the same place!

Please do you ship to Sweden?

Chase L (iTzChase) says...

USB – Pretty sweet giveaway. I would like to see a review of their e-blue Wireless Bluetooth Speakers. They look pretty cool, and I think they would be handy as well.

Sherry says...

USB- Wow! I saw a solar charger! I’m a huge proponent of solar energy and this thing looks cool! The tri-folded design allows for maximum portability while providing three surfaces for solar absorption. Very innovative! Has 1650mAh output! That’s insanely good for a backup SOLAR battery! It’s called the “Solio Charger” and has all different types of connectors included. It’s expensive at $109.99 but definitely a great, green product from Richard Solo!

Thanks for the great review and giveaway!

LilCubeDude says...

30- I looked at the website and i saw the iPhone/iPod Dual Charging Station the reason I like that? is i will be able to charge my nano and my ipod touch at the same time!!!

candyisthefix says...

USB- the Solio Charger with iPhone 3G Tip looks sick. you should totally do a review on it! earth friendly : D

USB- Dexim P-Flip Foldable? Power Dock
it looks cool

Nina says...

30- The Richard Solo? docks and headphones look cool, but they’re a bit overpriced

Nina says...

oh yeah, I’m mgeaglesrock

GarfieldDC says...

USB – I really like the products from Dexim. Their P-Flip Power Dock is a really cool. I love the concept that the backup battery also doubles up as a dock. That is one product I would love to own.
Also their BluePack batteries look very nice with the silver/chrome accents.

GarfieldDC says...

30- From the Richard Solo range I really dig the Richard Solo 1200. I love the compact form factor. it might not give me the amount of charge as the 1800 but the fact that it is compact makes up for it.

Nick says...

USB- Cool. I think that you should do a review on the dexim iPod shuffle Charger, and the Tweakers Mini-Boom Speakers! All of richard’s products are great!

Jeff says...

Hey, would love either version of the battery packs. They look like they’re really innovative and actually take it a step further with the laser pointer and flashlight.

Richard Solo actually has a ton of iPhone products that would be pretty great to have or even see a review of. I’m a big fan of bluetooth capabilities and the e-blue Wireless Bluetooth Speakers would probably be a great addition to my room but I would love a BuyMeAniPhone review before making a purchase.

I never seem to be satisfied with any case that I get either and am pretty interested in the RichardSolo Custom Case.

Thanks for the great review!

USB – Thanks to Richard Solo, I can continue to use my iPhone after dinner time. Great review, Nick.

Cj ware says...

30- these look really good I’ve looked at the cheaper ones made buy different companys and they don’t compare to this at all the one Richard solo product I liked the look of is the e-blue Bluetooth speakers if you could get that to reveiw it would be awsome 
Hope this counts to the givaway I never win :-(  

coolipodtouch says...

usb-i think Richard Solo is a smart? guy and he makes good invetions

Victor Nguyen says...

30 – And I would like to comment about the iMainGo2 Speakers for iPod Touch. I don’t own this product, but my friend does. I borrowed it from him because I needed a speaker louder than the internal speaker for iPod Touch 2G. I used this product and I loved it.? I was listening to my iPod upstairs, then I went downstairs to get a drink and satisfyingly, I still heard the music. And I love how it’s in a case.

iPerez69 says...

30- these look really good

jmhanna75 says...

USB- I would like to see a review of the Dexim? bluepack battery.

Pochoco says...

USB – I will like to see a review about the AirDrives for iPhone

dszabo116 says...

USB – Dexim ipod shuffle charger seems awesome because you can charge it without the big cable. I always have that problem because whenever? i am on the plane with my laptop and i want to charge it, then i have all those big cables flopping around.

longisland216 says...

30- nice review nick. i would like to see a review on the Noise Canceling Heaphones.

iTalkApple says...

30 – since i use my iphone so much, i use the battery up waaay too quickly! This would be so useful :) the dexim p-flip foldable power dock looks cool as well to keep on your desk or? at a different location in your house to charge :)

Harish says...

USB-Nick the Dexim P-Flip Power Dock looks really cool, Its got a bunch? of good accessories even. You really should think of reviewing it

Rhon Rarogal says...

USB – the Airdrive headphones look? crazy. Nothing that ive ever seen before!! I need headphones. Any thoughts?

XxIphoneAppsxX says...

30- I love the ipod/iphone dual charging dock,now you would not be required to share docks and “Take turns” with family members to dock your apple device,5 stars :)

n00btek says...

30 -I think that the “iPhone assistant for 3G/3GS” looks really nice, Fits perfect and dont take som much place in the backpack! awesome video aswell.

Matt L says...

USB- Great Review of the product Nick. I’ve seen many other backup batteries for the iPhone 3G, but barely any for the iPhone 3GS. The 1800′s looks are really cool. Also love the little laser pointer haha, awesome addition!

the0fflce says...

USB – cool review nick, i really need a backup battery my ipod touch always runs out of battery. hope i win the giveaway

iTouchPsP says...

USB – The Dream Machine looks nice!

Patara Chen (AcekillerPC) says...

USB-Wow didn’t know RS made this version? hahah i? seriously need to be updated!

PINKLADY185 says...

usb and the item i’d like to see reviewed would be the wireless bluetooth speakers. Thanks. =)

USB – I am looking at getting some speakers for my iPod/iPhone. On the Richard Solo sight I was looking at the

Tweakers Mini-Boom Speakers

and

Surround Xi

I have no sound at all except my iMac. So if you do a review on both or one or the other this would be great. Thanks :)

ipodfanatic says...

USB- thanks for the giveaway! I’d like a review on the Phiaton MS 400 headphones. :)

Torbjörn says...

The USB version is preferred as I use a lot of cases.

Please get a Pogo Jumper that you can use when testing out the durability, and grip of cases. Perhaps even make some video reviews while pogoing around?

jst4tim (Tim) says...

USB – Nice giveaways Nick. I like the idea of the Dexim AV Dock Station for iPhone/iPod it would be nice for viewing vids and pics I have on my phone.

Blake Peeling says...

30-Sweet review! Richard Solo always has some sweet products, I get the flier for them every so often and i love looking through it. Definitely really like the look of both of the battery backups, but the 30 pin backup just seems to appeal more to me i guess. Really like the battery life of them both though

ipinoyphone says...

30 – i can use some battery now. my iphone drains very quickly. hope i win

dadasdadsasda1 says...

30-? I really like the 1200 Backup Battery for iPhone/iPod because I find it more stylish and more accessible.
