What's the Best Cradle? Palm / Mobi / Amzer ? - Treo Forum

DolphinDude · 05-31-2007, 04:08 PM

I can't seem to find a clear consensus about charge & sync cradles:

Some like the Palm but I see a lot of grumbling about how the sync doesn't work consistently.. especially after a few dock/un-dock cycles

Mobi seems like a great price but gets dinged for quality.. didn't seem to feel as solid as the Palm to some people

Seidio ?

Amzer ?

Father's Day is coming up and I want to steer the kids away from another Polo shirt and toward the right cradle !

Been using the Palm one for well over a year and had no problems syncing, it's also handy having the extra battery charging compartment in the back

I keep a Palm cradle on my bedside table, and love it. Good and solid.

Thanks Guys,

I am now a proud, expecting it, owner of the charging cradle. Oh and I ordered the Solio charger too. I am into solar energy and want to give it a try.

I'd love to order that solio charger, let me know how well it works. It'll be a while before I can afford it, since one of my cats is quite sick...

My palm cradle works perfectly and has the extra battery charger. No trouble with sync ever.

Sure. It should be here by Wednesday. Once I charge it I will let you know.

I'm sure it'll work a lot better there in Arizona, than here in perpetual winter, we had a foot of snow in March, which then melted over the next two days.

Yeah, we do have 310 days of sunshine per year. So I shouldn't have an issue keeping it charged around here.

I guess that is why they call it the "Frozen Tundra" up there.
