Wondering how the ebay cradle that you ordered turned out? Was just about to buy one and figure I'd check here first to make sure you guys werent saying they were junk...Gonna pull the trigger if I dont hear anything in the next couple hours. Thanks

Saw this on ebay as well. I bought one when I had a palm treo pro, and it worked fine. Anyone have an update on this?

i read on one of the other evo forums that the ebay cradle (the more slanted one) didn't fit the device exactly and people were having trouble with it. ddark4eva, which one do you have?

Be adventurous, build it. I used an old phone.. made the handset into bluetooth, 5 port USB hub, extra battery charging and a USB dock for the phone.

You are way more creative and smarter about electronics than I . I just ordered a ebay cradle with 2 extra batteries for $24 shipped. I'll let you all know how it works out when I receive it.

I dont know about all that... This was built from the cable the phone came with, a 7 port powered usb hub, old TP2 cradle from ebay I got for under $10, old desk phone and a motorola h680 headset i think... Anyways, I like to mod hardware, suck at programming... But I encourage everyone to get high and try!

Searched all over the internet for reviews of the ebay cradles and every forum says the same thing -- "i'm ordering it... i'll post a review when i get it."

Then nothing.

I suppose that's good since if it was horrible people would post about it, but it's still unsettling. Only saw one review on the net and the guy said the dock damaged his micro USB port because it didn't line up correctly. Not sure about details though.

Anyone here use the ebay docs(no- OEM, no- seidio) successfully?
