Please log in for more thread options My experience is that the USB connection charges much faster than the wall
charger. I'm using a MPx220, so your results may vary. My configuration is
with a Belkin USB hub providing the power. When I first connected my phone,
I got an error message on the PC saying that my hub could not provide enough
current for my phone. I was using some kind of POS hub at the time. I
upgraded to a powered hub and it works great. Look for a hub with a large
wall transformer. Read the specs on the transformer. The bigger amperage the
better.
Minor correction to Faust's post. In the case of a power surge, your method
of charging is not really important. The wall transformer can over load, and
the PC power supply can over load. The risk is about the same. (The tree
outside my office got hit my lightning last wednesday. The near field effect
destroyed most electronics with wall transformers. Everything on USP or with
internal power supplies survived.)
