Hello all,
After upgrading to the o2 XDA exec, my much loved Holux Powered cradle and GPS receiver is now redundant
So one of you lucky peeps has the opportunity to buy it off me at a knock down price
I used it with my xda2s - I do NOT know if it works with other xda's.
Here is a link about it:
http://www.totalgps.com/Holux-Powered-GPS-PDA-Mount-for-XDA-Series-I-Mate-Q-Tec-2020.aspx
It powers your xda2s, and is a powered GPS receiver all in one. No more cables all over the place! It's offical name is Holux CR-100.
It's RRP is £90 +p&p.....I would be looking for at least half that. And I believe it is now discontinued (at least it is from totalgps.com).
It is in perfect condition, still with the box and all bits and docs.
HOWEVER!!!!! I had it hard wired to my car.......SO, either hard wire it to yours, or re-attach the cigarette bit, which I still have.
Payment via paypal please......first come first served....
Any questions I'll be happy to answer.
Cheers
HPJ
Hi All,
Just thought I'd mention a cool cradle I bought from a really nice ebayer ...
I got it this morning (next day delivery!) and the inclusive price delivered was £14.45
It also comes with a UK charging adapter so you don't have to rely on the USB power.
Also I have found that the cadle now works through my USB non powered Hub!!!!! even without the power adapter :shock:
So very pleased with this vital piece of kit that is essential when using for business and always updating diary/tasks etc.
Here is a link to his shop rather than the item incase the link dies...

I've screwed up the multi-jacks on two separate motherboards now by using the HK sync cable from eBay. It just puts too much stress on the jack. Today I found a real sync cable at a flea market but I seem to have permanently fried the current motherboard because no matter how carefully I reattach it, I get a constant red light from the R/O/G led.
So I need a T-Mobile motherboard (or any motherboard that will work with a Cingular US connection, if there is one). Does anyone in the US have one to sell me? I have a spare battery/back cover component that should work fine or a Nokia NGage to trade or can pay cash.
Help me out here, don't know if I can wait for another broken screen unit to turn up on eBay at a reasonable price. Thanks!
Just post this.

If the Nokia NGage would work with T-Mobile and the teenage I know
wanted it then that could be a deal.
I had been looking for a simple desktop cradle for a while and read reports on badly fitting ones and others that were good but expensive, and hrizontal ones that I didn't like, but I finally found a new one that suits my needs perfectly and is very inexppensive.
I found it a Techmate Australia http://www.techmate.com.au/ only $35.au, good quality, mini USB for power in (no adapter supplied), tethered USB cable for sync, fits nicely and is easy to drop in and out.

Dear esseff,
Could you provide me a link to a horizontal desktop cradle (as I understand you found it at Internet).
I really like horizontal cradle but I cannot find no one like this for Hermes (only for Wizard).

here's one on ebay
Cheep desktop "cradle"
I've been using a very inexpensive desktop cradle ever since I got my 8525.
It's a $.99 tripod from Microcenter. The little rubber feet hold the lower edge of the phone and the angle is good.
I've attached a few pictures.
I got this idea from http://www.aximsite.com when I had my Dell Axim x50v.
Thanks a lot for the report Esseff, I've just bought one - good to have a first hand opinion, especially from a fellow Aussie .

Here is an Australian link
http://www.mrgadget.com.au/catalog/...dopod-838-pro-desk-cradle-charger-p-2136.html
... but I have seen the same one at other o/s sites
Can't wait till mine arrives - its the only thing that I've hated about this device, not having a proper cradle.
Please forgive my ignorance on the the model issue.
Will the Cingular 8525 (Hermes 100) work with this dock?
Thank you
Is there one available that will charge a spare battery as well?

I bought this same cradle from ebay for under 20USD and shipped from hong kong, and this thing WAS a piece of junk, it fit my phone well, but after a few uses the usb plug started falling into the cradle and it was no longer making a connection. I cracked the case only to find it being held in place by glue... I found that the ground connection wasnt very good, so i re-soldered the ground, put the plug back in place, and used massive amounts of hot glue to hold this thing in place. After doing that this thing now works like a charm. I would suggest to anyone that purchases this thing to immediately crack open the case and dump alot of hot glue inside to keep this from happening!
OOOOHHHH MYYYYYY GAAAAAWWWWDDDDD
I just received my cradle from MobilePlanet.
IT IS FRACKIN AWESOME PEOPLE. Did you hear me. I SAID FRACKIN AWESOME! (Yes I watch Farscape what of it?)
$39.00 USD. Had to wait for a while 2 to 3 weeks...... BUT (there's always a big BUTT but this one is GOOHHHDDDDD!)
This CRADLE KICKS SERIOUS ARSE! ARSE! ARSE I TELL YA! it charges AND syncs the device AND.........
the second battery from the USB. It also has a power cord port.
But if you are a road warrior and I'm about to go back out on the road again...fly out Monday return fly in on Thursday - and you have an extra battery you'll need this cradle. It also fits the funky honkin 2400 batteries. (I assume that is what the extra cut out space is for though I sport a 1500 and an OEM so I can't say for sure.)
Fits my device like a glove. Looks sharp. Feels good. WELL MADE.
IT IS SWEET AS HAYLE! Run don't walk. Are you runnin yet! (It is worth the wait. Did I mention that?)
I wanna buy another just in case I loose this one. or to have one down stairs and one in the office. Maybe I'll buy 2 more to have one in the briefcase, one down stairs and one in the office.
Yes that's it. I'm going to the site to get mine before ya'll gobble them up.

Here you go. I already placed my order for 2 more. I think I'm gonna stick with the Hermes for a while...at least the next 6 to 8 months.

Amazing, I finally found out this was available a few days ago then I read this thread...well, as soon as someone picks up the cradle and battery for that horrible 750v I tried to use then I'll order this cradle. I don't really see the point in getting the ones that don't charge an extra battery though...isn't that the whole point?

But some only charge the device extra battery when you use the wall charger. If you use USB then it only charges the device.
The MobilePlanet one charges both the device and extra battery on USB as well as the wall charger. That is what makes it worth the cost alone...not to mention the thing is pretty well made.
Anyone in the UK managed to find a decent, reasonably priced cradle?
I've seen quite a few but these have a USB plug only, so if you want to charge the handset, you need the PC to be on.
What I'm after is a charger with a USB connection and a mains connection so you can charge the Hermes without the PC being on.
Hermes Cradle
Have you seen this one? It has an extra battery charger and both USB/mains connections.

I bought this cradle a few weeks ago and i love it so much i wanted to share it with you guys!
The good points...Universal, works with any device,
it comes with a separate charger lead off the back with different tips so you can charge other phones while Syncing.
Nice to use, no fiddly slotting it into place.And works in landscape!
its got a blue light!! anything with a blue lights got to be good right
Loads of other stuff..
Bad points...
Only shipped to Europe apparently,(found similar in US in post #3)
Have to use a Sync lead..i don't mind but some might, I actually think its better cos i can pick it up and not have to disconnect it, but hey thats just me.
Basically its cheap and great.
check out the full specs here http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/22432-Desk-Genie-Non-Slip-Charging-Desk-Stand-Reviews.htm

Q: Does anyone think this "Won't" work with T-Mobile TP2 ? It isn't specifically listed on the T-Mobile specific link. ?
Cradle, yes, but not if you have a case
Hi,
I have one of those types of cradles. They are great, UNLESS...
--You have a case on your device. There is no room between the cradle back and the support back that allows you to place the device in the cradle.
--You have an extended battery. These don't (again) have any space that will allow you to put the device in the cradle since there's no room to feasibly put the device in the cradle if you have an extended battery.
I don't know why these things (cradles) have this support back and don't leave any space for any extended options.
osirisHTC.. wats the link to tht dock station for tp2.. it looks sick.

I ended up buying this.

2 Battery+USB Charger for Sprint HTC Touch Pro 2 Pro2

T-Mobile HTC Touch Pro 2 Sync and Charge Desktop Charger with 2nd Battery Slot - $26.99[/QUOTE]
That exact same cradle is on e-bay for $13 shipped to the U.S. I bought two of them. Works great for me, and the price is right. As others have noted, it's a little fiddly to slide it on, and tends to stick when sliding it off. And it won't work with a case or an extended battery, but the film guards are ok.
Is your device the T-Mobile version?
Last cradle I bought didn't fit it.
