Is there a Nokia (or 3rd party) cradle that I can use to connect my N80 to my work PC via USB? I've still got my SE P800 cradle with the phone sitting in it (connected and charging too) and it's a real shame to have my new N80 just sitting on the desk ready to have coffee spilt on it! 😮
N80 Cradle anyone?
No desk stands as yet available according to Nokia - and no information on upcoming releases.
I've been trying to track down a desktop charging stand that will trickle charge a second battery simultaneously, but had no luck so far. I've emailed a few accessories sellers who've all tried to push the DT-14 battery charging stand on me :frown:. I would imagine something will be available within a month or so..
The dual chargers (phone + spare battery) are starting to appear now..
Ordered this one http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=9744397986&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1
from eBay, along with another Nokia branded battery. I'll post back with my thoughts on it once I've had it a few days.
HTH
Well it arrived this morning and already I'm gutted...
Simply put, it's not as illustrated on eBay. Instead it's one of the dual charge stands with a little cable out of the end, so it won't let you stand the N80 up whilst charging it. 😡 Guess I'll have to make do with it until something better arrives on the market.
Waiting to hear an explanation from the suppliers - be advised that they run several web shops under different names (but with the same business address) so if you spot a vertical charging stand for purchase be careful that you get what you pay for.
*sigh* back to the drawing board..
u mean u got this one
never seen the point in that one to be honest , and if it was illustrated in the one above i`d be wanting a full refund
Yep that's the one. (*EDIT: just to clarify I didn't purchase from iCover - I've used them in the past without any issues)
I'm waiting to hear back from the seller as to why they misadvertised and am withholding feedback until they respond. I suspect that any RMA will leave me out of pocket on postage, so am inclined to make do (provided it does successfully charge the phone + second battery) until a better product emerges. Hopefully the second battery (from a different seller) will arrive tomorrow and will be the pictured article (genuine Nokia BL-5B with hologram).
(*EDIT: thought I'd charge my phone as it was running low and 😡 the stand fails to charge the phone correctly !! Wonderful! To top it off, the returns policy means that it would cost me £2 to get a refund of £3) - assuming I ever get sent an RMA. Bah
It wasn't until I received the item that I realised I've read about the company (trades under many names but all from the same business address) - wouldn't have bought from them if I'd known beforehand. I'm just glad I didn't purchase the item from them via the WWW under one of their other names - same picture, same description and twice the price!
Guess I'm going to have to wait until I see one in the flesh or Nokia bring a genuine accessory out..
