Default Desktop Cradle

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.

Made by JMB accessoreis.

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).

Default 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 .

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
