Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 Hmm debating it, a cradle would be nice. 20 squids is a lot though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mrdo Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 it's not exactly stunning, is it ? still, i'm desperate for a cradle so it will have to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bennish Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 there's a slightly more fashionable one avail. in europe - but it comes out at 33 GBP when u add postage to aus - that's 78 bucks. So i just ordered the expansys one. Interesting thing, expansys also has a version with built-in speakers for less, and they're available now.

Guest jiffk Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 is that the right link? its cheaper and nastier looking i think the expansys one is quite good as it has a little dock for the stylus i have also seen one that sits the k-jam in landscape mode but that means you have to have the keyboard open :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mrdo Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 bought the cheap and nasty one and am pleasantly surprised. came with a uk plug to usb adaptor too. my only gripe is that the phone sits almost completely vertical making the screen slightly difficult to view.

Guest daftveggie Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 has anyone looked at the cradle with speakers, it looks well cool, but I think the Verso might have to be the wrong way around to fit in it; i.e. with te back facing out.# The photos on the expansis site show the mini in the crade so I think they might have the compatability wrong. I don't suppose anyone could shed any light? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bennish Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 it looks to me like the usb port in the speaker cradle is in the centre... which would make it wizard (magician was to the side). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest daftveggie Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 but check out the orientation of the usb connector and also the positioning of the headphone jack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stunno Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 What do you guys reckon to this one http://cgi.ebay.ch/NEU-USB-Cradle-Dockings...9QQcmdZViewItem If they took Paypal I would have bought one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest En_croute Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 I bought two of those from him, and he has now set up a paypal account. 4 weeks delivery, but nice - you need to secure it with blurtack, so it can be used in the dock. The supplied stylus is clear, and there is a blue LED under it, so it lights up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest techdave Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 My expansys one arrived this morning and its great. Looks very nice indeed sitting alongside a TFT on your desk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest turbo lemon Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 (edited) I've just received my cradle from Expansys, the one with speakers. The cradle is excellent. A snug fit and reasonable sound too. I've had to put a post-it note over the LED already as it's too bloody bright! (but it's a minor niggle. I may drill myself a little hole for the cradle to sit in so I have it available when the phone is docked. Great value for money.

Guest Noo Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 Received the cradle i ordered from HandNav yesterday, as mentioned with others the LED blue light is way too bright, but a bit of bluetack over it shows through the blue light much dimmer. £16.98, which was reasonable, i thought. Only wish it had a socket for my headphones to connect through as don't listen to music on my PC at work... As far as True Connect is concerned, it doesn't support WM5 PPC yet. I asked them about it and they're releasinng a version that does in March. Looks like the ideal software for the office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest turbo lemon Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 You know that sound you get when you put your phone next to a pair of speakers or a hifi when you are sending/receiving a text? You know, that morse-ish beeping? Well, I get that most of the time on my cradles speakers. It's driving me mad. I may bin the cradle or disconnect the speakers. You'd have thought they'd shield the speakers, but obviously not. I wish I'd bought the cradle with no speakers. :evil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
