Motorola RAZR: it charges from a standard USB cable hooked up to a PC. Awesome!

I'd be careful with that if you value your cellphone's battery life. You will do it harm by charging it from a USB port.

The electricity that comes through the USB cable is different?

Ignore the man who atored me.
USB charging is a real threat to the life of your battery because a USB port is incapable of charging your battery at the proper rate. It's to do with a thing called current, you stupid arty prick! Goddamn, people like you get on my nerves. I will try to get over it, but this should be common knowledge so do yourself a favour and feel a little bit embarrassed.
Imagine a water balloon attached to the end of a tap. The balloon is your battery; the water is the 'electricity*'. Using your phone's wall charger is like turning the tap to its fullest. The balloon will inflate to massive proportions and you'll be well satisfied! Using the USB port is like turning the tap so that only a trickle fills the balloon. Will the balloon inflate to its fullest? No, it won't. But, if you've been pulling this kind of shit from the get-go, you'll have no benchmark with which to judge your phone's battery life because you will have fucked up each and every battery you've touched. But you deserve it, so fuck ya. Break all your dumb toys without even realizing. Bring them down to your level.
