I just saved $30. So yes I am proud of myself.
And that sentence doesn't make sense. "PROUD or yourself"

Im certain apple was thinking something similar when they sold you the iphone.
Got a tip for us?

Your question has already been answered. See post #62 and post #84 in this thread.
Pics of the adapters

The second picture is == recalled iPhone 3G adapter (left) == New iPhone 3G adapter.

I use one at work, and it charges the phone just fine, I even have a dock there for it to sit in.
I got both of mine today and will be just leaving them at work to ship out DHL, they come every day to my work.
I just received it today and it exactly how it looks like in the pictures but I have yet to actually test it.
Thanks for clearing up a lot. That's a bummer but it makes the most sense. My belief is that Apple will simply remove the prongs and replace it with the new ones (I assume their technicians can do this with no big problem). Then sell it off/ship all of them to the AT&T and Apple stores for an in-house exchange.
So after I dropped off the package in a DHL Drop-Box, I realized the letter they sent had a back side. Of course, this back side said in big bold letters at the top "DO NOT PUT IN A DHL DROP-BOX"
Great lol that figures
Great lol
that figures
I got mine yesterday, I'm in St. Louis. Now I gotta find some place to drop it off at.
Considering that Apple is likely going to just throw these away when they get them, why the hell do they want to pay for the return shipping too? Why not just tell us to pitch them.

I don't get it, can someone please explain why people use this logic.
Apple announces that they need to replace the USB adaptors due to a possible defect. They give you 2 ways to get a new one, have a new one shipped to you, and then you put the old one in the box and ship it back, or, you can simply go to an Apple Store with your adaptor and turn them in at the store and they will give you a new one.
My question is this, Why are so many people wondering if Apple will charge them if they do't send back the old adaptor when the new one was shipped to them. If you don't send back the old one, they have every right to charge you, plain and simple.
Maybe next time they should have you either send them the old adaptor first then ship you the new one or have you get off your lazy a$$ and only do the in-store exchange.

Ehhh....if you know the old adapter is defective, and then, upon receiving a replacement and continue to use the old one, then you're an idiot and shouldn't be allowed within 100 feet of a courtroom.
so like my adapter came via fedex, and i don't have any sort of DHL facility within light years of where I live.. Any ideas on how I am expected to get this thing back to them.. ?
I understand they were delivered early. He said he walked into an Apple store and got his exchanged. When I was on the phone today to the Apple Store they said they were not available to exchange until the 10th (tomorrow).
