DC-9 and DC-10: Now Retractable Car chargers aren’t anything to write home about, but the latest Nokia DC-9 and DC-10 car chargers have at least one new ooh-aah feature: retractable cables. They also don’t look as boring as your typical 1990s-era Nokia car charger or as strange as some “other” car accessories ( HF-35W Inner Tube ). The only difference between the two chargers are the end-plugs: the DC-9 carries the standard Nokia 2mm jack, while the DC-10 has a microUSB plug at the end. Unfortunately, while microUSB-charging might sound like a fun prospect, in reality there’s only a couple phones that support the feature: Nokia 6500 Classic Nokia 7900 Crystal Prism Nokia 7900 Prism Nokia 8600 Prism Nokia 8800 Arte Nokia 8800 Carbon Arte Nokia 8800 Sapphire Arte Nokia N85 Pricing for the DC-9 and DC-10s is standard Nokia “buck-wild” pricing. Each one will set you back 35 GBP, or $51 USD. Or, you could always opt for the low-tech non-retractable edition which should cost you somewhere in the $5 range now (estimated cost).
