Anyone have one. Went to use a couple of hours ago, battery dead. Plugged in and forgot about, just went back to it and no charge. Was charging fine last night, and USB cable and plug is currently charging up phone with no problems. Any ideas?

I'm having exactly the same problem. Mine was bought in February and has never worked. Does the same thing. Samsung customer service is worse than useless. It has to be returned three times before a replacement will be considered! I was told by their staff over the phone that "as long as it is economical to repair it, that's what they'll do." In the mean time I have a product that can be used for a few days, then off again! As far as I can see, they charge it up an send it back to me. "Working within normal specifications" translation - rubbish. I would never buy another one.
