Smartphone Experts Cradle

Tue Sep 6, 2005 - 12:10 PM EDT - By Douglas Morse

Conclusion

If you’re on a tight budget, then the cradle by Smartphone Experts is the one to get. It works exactly as it should charging and syncing with ease. It holds the Treo at a solid upright angle and even though the plastic is glossy of cheesy-black, you’re not really going to notice. After coming from the original Pilot 1000 through the Handspring Prism, I always took the cradle for granted. I was annoyed when I found that the Treo shipped without a cradle but grew accustomed to not having one. Only now do I realize what a relief it is to have a cradle again.
