Practical and useful system
User: Al Johnnie, Apr 8, 2008
Pros: The pros are extra battery storage and dual-charging capability. Use ful charging ability with either AC or computer usb connections. Allows owner to view his/her messages, incoming-calls, schedules, emails while in nested in its cradle on charge. The
Cons: Here is my constructive critisism about the cradle. Since I use it between 4-8 hours on a daily baisis while the phone is in the craddle. The connection for charging sometimes does not always charge readily. I learned that the sound it makes when charg
Well-designed, great little charging dock!

Pros: Well thought out, great bay for charging second batteru, connections fit tight, small profile, price is a bargain!
Cons: -
So, where to begin... well, it arrived the DAY after I purchased it and even the packaging was easy to open. (No surgical knife needed)
It comes with the USB to dock adapter cable (quite long) as well as the power cable (also quite long) The connections of those into the bottom of the unit are a very snug fit, as is the fit of the Treo into the cradle itself. And the unit is not only light, but not much wider than the phone, so when its docked, you barely see the dock other than the bottom portion with the charging light and the sync button.
What you *do* see is your Treo prominently propped up rather than laying down on the desk, face-up... which means you can see if the display lights up with a call or appointment, and you can use the stylus without having to hold the phone from moving.
And none of this even touches on its best feature yet. I knew it was capable of charging a second battery. But I expected to have to place it in on some strange angle, and use a key or pen to remove it (because the dock seemed so small - how could you get a battery in and out of the inside of it easily?) Ill tell you how... when you remove the Treo from the dock, the back of the dock flips forward, almost 75 degrees, and the battery just drops in and pops out. It really is very well designed and thought out.
Its a great product, well designed, sleek, stupidly simple to use and worth every penny!
Works great!

I got this more for the charging factor than the synching factor, as I wanted it on my bedside table to keep my phone upright where I can see it easily and charge without having to hunt down a power cable... so I havent used it to synch (Because I really dont care if Im only using the cable or not being a laptop user.)I plugged it in, set it up.. and away we went. It was really that easy, but come on.. its pretty straight forward right? I had read other reviews complaining it sounded like something was breaking when they tried to remove their phone.. but I honestly didnt notice that at all... I did notice that unless I was well balanced, I did have to use two hands to remove it, but thats gonna happen. When standing or sitting in front of it, I can remove my 755 easily with one hand. Its easy to dock my phone and the spare battery charging compartment is a definite bonus.
I chose the palm over all the other brands because of the reviews, and I am not disappointed. The best part is, this cradle will work for my 755 or my centro.. and hopefully, many more treos in the future.
A must for any Treo owner
