Qtek 8080: Accessories compatibility issues

[Guest]

Hello,

found this experience report on http://www.orangesp.co.uk :

http://194.154.163.171/eshops/cat.asp?news=9

The author assumes that all the chargers for the predecessor models fail because of a higher charging current needed by the 8080 (and clones).

Well, can it really be that the 8080 has a higher drain than an iPAQ 5550 which can well be charged from the USB port of my notebook using a special USB charger ?

According to the specs I have the cells used in the battery of the 8080 (Samsung ICP503465B or Amita 503562) are charged @680 mA max.

Any experience ?

Any idea if at all and if so when accessories for the 8080 will be available (I'd need a spare battery, one spare docking station and a USB charger/sync cable) ?

Regards

Gerhard
