I get my new phone and been browsing for a cradle with some kind of adapter to convert pop-port to the mini usb and mini power on the N95, I found this one, its £40 BUT the description is totally wrong and the picture is for illustration purposes only!

Has anyone purchased on off this shop?
I may give them a call tomorrow and see what is what and keep you posted.
that description is just a totally different product!
See what they say.

Apart from the mention in the title this product seems to have nothing to do with the N95. It seems to convert the connection from nokia's oldest connector standard (as used on the 6210) to pop-port rather than to the N95 connections.
Is it worth spending �40 on a 3rd party adaptor when you could get a modern (and relatively futureproof) solution like the Nokia CK7-W for around �65-�75?
I had a CK20-W and a Brodit active cradle put into my car when I got my N95 in May and its brilliant. Admittedly that was quite a bit more money but the 7W is cheaper and prices have come down since then anyway.
just googleing i found this,
looks good, any idea?
Doesn't look any good to me. It makes no mention of bluetooth, so how does the speaker and microphone work? I can imagine the speaker works by amplifying any noise it hears near it (e.g. the phone speakers), perhaps with the microphone pickup LOL.
And look at the charger, you have to seperately plug that into the phone.
Go the Brodit mount with integrated charger plug, you can't go wrong with that. http://www.brodit.com/productinformation.jsp?anr=965156
edit:
Ok, perhaps the charger plugs into the lighter and mount, but that very poor image shows about 4 cables, I am guessing they all plug into the mount, and you have to physically plug a cable into the headphone socket and a cable into the charger socket every time you take the phone in & out!
