This works for an iPhone 4 for breathing some life into an antiquated albeit still very functional phone (I use it almost exclusively for offline GPS directions with the Navigon app).I've had it for a year and use it quite regularly

It's not the phone's fault, as Apple branded cables still keep a constant connection.

I was finally prompted to write this review because it took me 10 minutes to get a connection that would charge my dead phone

The cords that are similarly priced (such as those made by Radio Shack) did not work as consistently well -- when I used them, the phone would generally have to be positioned in one particular way in order to take a charge.

My phone is old but it works for me.

A quality cable that didn't cost too much for my phone - hasn't broken yet.

Bought this for my first smart phone, iphone 4 which I rarely use

A cheap 4$ gas station phone performs better and oddly replaced this cord

My phone charges no problem with other chargers

(phone is a bit paranoid, I suppose) and use your importing software (Picasa for me).
