StarStarStarStarStar OK but Step Down from Palms Treo Cradle
User: Scott Mandl, Apr 25, 2008
Pros: Good viewing angle, charges extra battery
Cons: hard to remove Centro with one hand, no sync button
I just received this cradle and basically it made me truly appreciate my Treo cradle.

The Treo Cradle had a hady space behind the Treo that pivots forward to reveal the xtra battery charging compartment. With this cradle, the battery sits in the open and because it is placed horizontally, it means the base is larger than Palms Treo Cradle. Also, the battery is not the easiest to get out of the charger.

I dont get why theyleft off the hot-sync button. I often sync my Centro before I leave the office and instead of pushing one button, I know have to fish through the several screens on the Centro or on the desktop.

This cradle does not seem to have a base that was as weighted as the Palms. This is more of an issue because at least with a new Centro, the connection is so tight it is almost impossible to get the phone out of the cradle with one hand, so you need to use two hands or the whole thing will likely come up with the phone. One of the key benefits of a well-made cradle is to allow the easy connect and disconnect of the phone. The sync cable that came with the Centro seems to attach securely yet come out easier.

Speaking of cables, the Celet did not have a USB cable in the box although one was indicated. I am assuming they just left mine out accidentally.

I dont mean to trash talk this cradle. It does work and does what it says it does. I just wanted former Treo users to be aware of the difference. Of course, some of these may change as the cradle ages.

Good luck

StarStarStarStarStar Battery doesnt fully charge in rear slot
User: J D, May 11, 2008
Not sure if I got a defective one or not but when charging a separate battery in the rear slot, it never gets a full charge.

Ive tried several batteries and even after leaving on charger for 24 hours, they charge anywhere from 80 to 95 (charger is plugged into wall socket.) These same batteries reach a 99 to 100 charge when they are installed in the phone and the regular charging cable is used.

If I had known this prior to purchase, I would not have bought it.

StarStarStarStarStar Not very good
User: Ward Horner, Oct 14, 2008
I just received this product and will be returning it for a refund. It does not hold my Centro very well. I placed the Centro in the cradle, but the slightest tap causes the connection to disconnect.

Now this is real problem because there is no hot sync button, so you must use the software hot sync on the phone, thus you must navigate via the Centro screen to find the hot sync app. However, in doing this, the slightest movement will cause the phone to disconnect from the cradle. Even just touching the hot sync button on the Centro screen can cause the unit to disconnect from the cradle. You actually need to hold the Centro down with one hand to make sure that it does not disconnect.

When I say disconnect, I do NOT mean the that the Centro falls out of the cradle. I mean that the electrical connection between the Centro and the cradle is disconnected.

I also own a Palm cradle and was originally unhappy with how firmly it held the phone, now I realize that it needs to firmly hold the phone in place or it will disconnect (which it never does).
