Desktop charger/cradle

[ero69]

Anyone using this cradle: http://www.boxwave.com/news/news_1326.htm

I haven't seen many other options options - only 1 other in fact. The another one I have seen makes you have to physically plug the cable in the side which kind of defeats the purpose.

The new(ish) Boxwave one seems to have to slide on.

I'm in Australia and would have to have it shipped across. Wondering is anyone is using and can give me feedback on what it's like.

For example, I'd like to know how easy it connects/disconnects from the cradle.

Thanks.

Thanks for your post! I am camping in the Swiss Alps this summer and found the perfect accessory for me!

Thanks kerrance.... Hadn't seen that one before and looks great. Unfortunately doesn't look like they ship overseas (I'm in Australia).

Box wave looks good, especially the one with the extra battery charger :-) Mite consider this as well, but my problem is I already ordred the crystal case from pdair.com and it would be hassle to remove it from the case everytime I sit it on the cradle :-(

as for the other one, in their terms and conditions it says

3.2 - Unless otherwise agreed orders are shipped by Royal Mail Special Delivery, Royal Mail Recorded delivery or Royal Mail International Airsure service.

so i guess they will deliver, there is an email form on the site (help & support => contact us) so you may want to ask them first

Yeah, I live in Melbourne and I have physically seen that one. It has a very short USB cable that needs to be manually connected to the side of the phone. I fail to understand the point of this device (but, maybe it's just me)... I might as well just connect a standard USB cable.

Thanks... I added to my shopping cart and all I could select was local shipping. I will e-mail to find out for sure.
