Palm Pre and Touchstone Back Cover sold separately. |
This package includes just the Touchstone Charging Dock; to charge your device wirelessly, you also need the separately available Touchstone Back Cover for Palm Pre.
Just set your Pre with compatible Touchstone Back Cover on the Touchstone Charging Dock, and it magnetically snaps into place and begins charging. The magnets align your phone in the correct position for charging, whether in portrait or landscape mode–no cables or connectors required to attach your phone to the dock. And it charges in the same amount of time as wall charger that came with your Palm Pre.
The Charging Dock also offers a number of handy features in addition to keeping your battery topped up:
- Place your phone on the Charging Dock when you’re on a call and its speakerphone automatically turns on.
- Pick your phone up from the Charging Dock while you’re on speakerphone and the conversation is automatically routed back to the phone.
- For incoming phone calls, simply pick up the phone from the Charging Dock and it answers automatically, without having to tap the screen.
- When the phone is not in use, Nightstand mode displays the time and incoming notifications.
The Charging Dock also requires the International Power Charger that came with the Palm Pre to operate.
Palm Touchstone Charging Dock for Palm Pre and Palm Pixi
This sounded like a good price and it was for $29 which is what I paid for the charging dock. HOWEVER, what they didn’t/don’t tell you in the info about the charging dock is that you will also need the power charger, cable and the all important Touchstone back cover for your phone. I received my dock in the mail today thinking it had the components I needed but I have the Touchstone now that’s useless untill I order the back cover for my phone…FRUSTRATING!!!!

Worked great for 2 months. Then I would come in & the battery would still be dead from the night before. I stopped using it. Bought am extended battery & cover, now I can do anything I want to on my palm pre all day & the battery never dies on me. Its not that hard to plug it in anyway

The ad I responded to doesn’t tell you that you need another part, the upgraded battery cover, to make the ‘Stone’ work.
The shipper offers ZERO support. It took numerous calls and time, on my part, to figure this out.
Of course, I got stuck with the freight to ship it back for a refund.
The shipper blames Amazon for incomplete information and Amazon blames the shipper for incomplete information. Neither accepts blame.
