Default Charging Dock/Craddle

Please Login to Remove!

I had a little charging dock for my 8120 but now that I've switched to a 9630 I don't anymore, and I really like it.

I searched ebay but nothing came up. Is it too early to be searching for an accessory like this? Has anyone bought a craddle/dock that can recommend me a site or something? Thanks!

The RIM charging cradle is not yet available. The Storm cradle took a few weeks before it was released so the Tour cradle will most likely follow.

The charging cradle that is shown on the Blackberry store has two metal prongs on the back side, is it possible that the two metal spots on the sides of the back cover tab are charging posts?

Yes. It's a much better charging solution than the Storm's cradle, which uses the micro-usb port.

Holy crap Batman. That's what those things are? Nicely done RIM. Very elegant. I take back (some of) my griping about how ugly the back door is...

Yeah, it looks like there are a few for sale on ebay. Looks like the OEM charging pod (cradle) that RIM says is not yet available. Reputable seller as well. I might just have to take the plunge.

Please do, as it hasn't actually been released by RIM yet, so curious how these ebay units got out there and are for sale.

They are taking pre orders. It looks like 8/7 is correct.

True....When I ordered yesterday and it said such a late delivery date I assumed it was due to the 8/7 release. But I was incorrect.- I stand corrected. Just backordered.
