Agreed. I have a few myself.
anker is solid. where do you place the AW?
Actually, I had never heard of them until last year when I treated myself to an outrageously self-indulgent (but superb) mp3 player, the SP1000 from Astell & Kern.
Despite the mouthwatering price, it did not come with an external charger; I phoned the company where I had bought (or was ordering) the device from, and they checked with A&K, who, in turn, recommended Anker, specifying the actual piece of equipment, and informing me that this is what their own staff used when taking their devices out on demos.

going forward. The bs and hoops the carriers make you go through is just ridiculous. This was the second time Verizon store reps made me want to punch them.
