Is there a Cradle yet??

[nc35]

Just wondering if anyone can recommend a cradle yet?

[speakerphone]

boxwave wants you to pay $50 for one with battery charger...
bit steep...

aah the good old days when pdas came with cradles...

Hi,

I use my old orbit cradle which works fine and only £13.98

It works for my Orbit II (and I think TC too) :) but the seller delivers this cradle only in Germany. :(

[wywywywy]

Some have started appearing on eBay.
I bought one (£3.90 + £5.00 delivery from Hong Kong).
Should arrive this week!

[speakerphone]

does it charge a spare battery too?

I just got this one.. no problems.. works great!
Cost was about $24 Delivered.

I got the same cradle, but the mini-usb connector is too high on mine -- the Touch Cruise never touches the bottom of the cradle, and instead ends up "floating" on top of the USB plug. Not good...

Is it a GOOD fit for the Orbit 2?

Many cradles seem targeted at the HTC versions and these can differ slightly and make it difficult to slide over the connector. Can you confirm the Orbit 2 fits well into this cradle?

Thanks.

[nickbro]

Nope, it's not a good fit for the orbit 2. The o2 will fit in it, but it's resting on the USB jack which isn't good.

To which cradle are you referring? The one mentioned by taechelsea or the one pictured above from Keith Buckner (with an HTC sitting in it)?

[nickbro]

The one off ebay

They're both off eBay.

Could you be more specific. The one mentioned by taechelsea or the one pictured above from Keith Buckner (with an HTC sitting in it)?

That one, the cheap thing off ebay

Ah, yes I've got one for the Orbit 1 and it's not a great fit.

[mpf54]

I got one off ebay and the USB connector on it was to long. It would not sit all the way down in the cradle. Then I saw this one on Boxwave. Costs a little more but it fits perfectly. Comes with or without a Spare Battery Charger

Just ordered this one:

I'll have to use an adapter, but it has a USB output for charging, so no need to take the supplied wall wart.

[wywywywy]

Just a quick comment.

With the eBay cheapo dock, I have to connect two USB cables for it to sync properly. I guess the dock itself is drawing quite a bit of current. Probably by its super bright tacky blue LED...

May be a problem for people who haven't got a lot of USB ports.

Is anyone using this desktop cradle from Clove Technology?

http://www.clove.co.uk/viewProduct.aspx?product=13B93486-5512-4150-81A0-8734604A507F&category=3F64F95C-E53B-499D-8CDA-DAFC84465AF0

I'm wondering is it a proper fit for the touch cruise.

By the way does anyone know why HTC removed accessories from their website?

Edit:Sorry, HTC did not remove accessories from their website but they don't have a desktop cradle

[ITRAMX]

Good prices.

I have been using the boxwave cradle for 2 weeks now. Works great.

Stop being so cheap and buy something of good quality. ebay is a rip off place to buy from...

[rickgillyon]

This one from Proporta is very good:

The picture isn't accurate though. Cheap worldwide delivery cost too, £2.95 / $4.95.

I just bought one of these - it's exactly as darkazally says; good quality and the TC fits just fine. No tight fit or slop, just a professionally made cradle. My only issue is that it comes with a US power supply only, so in the UK you need a plug converter, but they are readily available.

Delivery from the US was within 1 week.

Well recommended.

You might pay a bit less postage buying the Proporta cradles in the UK.

Just bought this one from Qtek :

http://www.qtek.fr/photos/product_413_2.jpg

It's top-quality, extra battery slot included, but the price is not exactly cheap : €50 (that's $80 !)

Had i read this thread before, i would have probably bought a cheaper one.

If anyone still needs a car cradle got one spare;

Its for the Orbit 2 but should fit all the Cruises I think?

Dan,
