Gettinga second syncstation...

6 replies · 2,054 views · Started 13 March 2003

Anyone know how to get hold of a second syncstation? I have PC's at home & at work and it would be very nice ot have everything 'in sync' (no pun intended). SE customer service line say they're not available as a separate accessory yet - which is frankly dumb, but anyway.

So, would it maybe be possible to get one of the Carphone Warehouse repair centres to order me one as a spare?

I'm aware you could use the USB sync cable which you can get as an accessory, but I much prefer cables to cradles, much less fiddly..

I think you mean it the other way around, you like cradles more than cables. O suggest you get the Cradle from SE for the T68i (CDS-11) http://www.sonyericsson.com/uk/spg.jsp?page=start

Then you get a Bluetooth Dongle, You get am instant wireless sync station. Except that you have to get an extra charger too for the CDS-11

Yes, I meant I prefer cradles to cables. Fingers typing faster than brain can think 😊 . I know about the CDS-11 but

a) I'm not sure the P800 will actually fit on it
b) It's only a charging point as far as I know

As far as I know, the syncstation is the only cradle that operates as a charger and as data cable at the same time. A DCU-11 with the charger plugged into it would do the whole job, but I'd prefer a cradle if at all possible.

I can't honestly see why they aren't offering then as an accessory. Having two 'sync points' seems to me something quite a lot of people would want. hey ho.

a😊 Yes im sure it fits because I bot it for the same reason as you did, that SE didnt sell an extra one.

b.) Yes it cannot sync but you connect a handsfree unit at the back so when you answer your calls you dont have to pick it up but bluetooth headphones are better (I have an HBH30, a busted and noisy one, if you wana here my story on this let me know, I wouldnt recommend it.)

Thats why you have to buy the bluetooth dongle which is probable just around 40-60 USD. You wil have a wireless syncstation! Even better Right? 8)

Just tell them you broke it and all those crap to the service center or hq whatever they call it and you need a brand new one fast. 😃
