BlackBerry Charging Pod for BlackBerry Bold 9000
This is the best cradle charger I’ve ever owned. It is extremely small and very easy for the phone to be cradled.

I was surprised that this cradle does not allow my Blackberry to sync with MS Outlook. The usefulness of the item is greatly reduced for me as a result. I can’t recommend it. (June 10, 2009…Please see the comments attached to this review.)

This did not work for me as I have a Casemate that fully encloses my BB. It did not appear to work as a charger without it either.

I realize this is my fault for not double checking, but the lack of a plug makes this an incredibly expensive item that basically just holds your blackberry in a vertical position… you still need the same charger you can plug in directly to the blackberry, so dont really see the point of this… Also, beware that if you have a skin on your blackberry the pod is useless since the skin covers the charging contact point…

After many drops to the floor with the usb cable pulling the Blackberry Bold out of my hand to the floor, I was really excited to receive my charging pod in the mail. I am a big fan of the bedside mode on my phone and using it as an alarm clock as well, so the charging pod holding the phone vertical seemed like a wonderful product. When I tried it out for the first time, I was really disappointed on how loose it was. I can see it being necessary givin the charging pod is light weight and wanting it to stay on the desk and not rise with your phone, but I am disappointed in that the user needs to take extra precaution to set the phone in just right to make sure the battery connectors connect as necessary. It doesn’t result in damage, but unless your settings switch it to clock mode you may assume it is charging when it really is not.
