Right out of the box, I pulled the ends and it extended. Then I tried to retract and all the wires got tangled up inside. I spent the best part of a hour trying to untangle it and fix it. I ended up just removing the retraction mechanism altogether and now use it as a plain of cable. The cable itself is VERY thin (only 1mm x 2.5mm cross section) and I don't think it will last very long before breaking or getting chewed up in a laptop bag.

Did not function
User: Alexei Budsan, Dec 29, 2006
Pros:
Nice design, like the Sync button
Cons:
Does not work with 650s it appears
I was excited about upgrading my sync charger to this one but when I plugged it in, my XP said there was any issue with the device. I was however able to charge but not sync it. I went back to my older charger/sync and it worked fine. I called support and they said it was not properly plugged in, I checked several times including "jiggling it" as the rep said and no sycn. Either I got a bad one or it has problems with the Treo 650.

You get what you pay for
User: David Yanke, Dec 19, 2006
Pros:
Compact and usable with any case or skin
Cons:
wire seems somewhat thin
The title says it all. There are trade-offs to the size and the retractable feature and here it is the thickness of the cable. This is not intended for heavy use, more for occasional use.
Unlike the previous comment, the retraction seems to work flawless, although I can see possible damage if you pull to hard after reaching the end.
Overall it is what I expected when I ordered it.

I love this product!
User: Lee Carr, Jan 10, 2007
Pros:
Great Multi for travel and syncing
Cons:
-
I love this product. It's small for portability which is great when I travel and it charges my phone and sync's at the same time. I always hated the stupid wall chargers anyway. I had one for my Treo 600 and now am buying one for my 700w

Broke by the 3rd time I used it
User: Alex D, Dec 30, 2006
Pros:
?
Cons:
Cheap plastic hastily slapped together
I should have known better the second I opened it. The glue was not even dry on the private label badge that was applied to outside. Today as I was unplugging it the plastic guide bent and went white. Just like cheap plastic used to. What a waste of money. Not happy with either treocentral purchase as both items (case) broke within days.
