New Verizon & Sprint TP2 Cradle Out

[lwleedy]

I just got my cradle and thought I'd give you my thoughts

1. Just ordered 3 days ago so that was quick.
2. I like that I can charge a battery and the phone at the same time
3. The phone is a little difficult to put in the cradle. I have the extended case and larger battery maybe that causes it.
4. The phone sticks up at 90 degrees so it is hard to read sitting on my desk.
5. I don't see a light to let me know that the extra battery is charged. as soon as I pluged it in the blue light and green light turned on. If I take the battery out the green light stays on.

I'd like to get a charger that rotates 90 degrees so i could use the phone in landscape mode

It would be nice to be able to open the keyboard.

Would also like it to tilt back 15-20 degrees.

But for 25 bucks or so it's not bad.

I was looking for an smiling face with a magnifying glass to show this was a review but couldn't find one.

Eh, I received mine today as well. I don't have it plugged in with the power adapter yet since I haven't received my extra battery just yet. But the phone seems to sit ok in the cradle for me, I don't use any cases on the phone though. It would be nice if it was at a bit more of an angle but it will do...

Got mine today also. Phone is a bit awkward to seat in the cradle (no case) but works OK. You kind of have to 'find' the connecter to get it to fit in the bottom of the phone. Angle is good for me since I have it raised next to my monitor. Most important feature for me is the extra battery charger. Haven't used that part yet.

Those lights should come back on once phone/battery is charged...Do they?

In the picture, the USB is a universal one, not squared off on the left side like on our TP2s, could any of you who have received the cradle confirm please?

The lights stay on all the time. There is no difference between battery in or battery out, battery charged or battery depleted.

Also whether the phone is in or out charged or discharged doesn't matter the blue and green lights are on all the time.
