As always, an excellent review. Seidio has great accessories for our Blackberries. I own their 7130e swivel clip holster and I love it!

David,

If you guys build one to fit the extended battery sign me up. I just can't do without the extended power supply.

Please let me know.

lgreenberg · 07:17 AM

David told me today that they are in fact working on a version which will accomodate the extended battery.

dcfroe · 05-25-2006, 07:16 AM

GREAT NEWS! I will watch this thread for an update on when it can be ordered.

Thanks lgreenberg!

paulbblc · 05-26-2006, 12:29 AM

Got mine today. Little work getting it to sit in the cradle as lgreenberg's review described however after playing around with it for awhile I was able to get it. All in all I'm extremely happy with the purchase. Anyone else get theirs today?

Evil One · 05-26-2006, 05:27 AM

I got mine yesterday. Very impressive. Worth the money. Too bad soon I am going to need the extended battery and will need a new one now.

Got mine yesterday, sorry to say very disappointed. With device in the cradle the USB connection is poor at best. Charging is intermittent, and USB connectivity to the desktop does not work. Unless you grab the thing with two hands and squeeze. Check the link that Igreenberg has for a review on the item. Many post following the review of people having similar problems. I hope Seidio will do something to help the disappointed customers. My own opinion, they should stop selling this device until the design is improved and either refund and or replace the bad ones that we already have.

amny · 05-26-2006, 08:32 AM

You should have bought the real thing with the AMZER logo, as that is the only one which has Quick Charge and also will not give problems

Ms. Mavis · 05-26-2006, 08:49 AM

I've just been using ma old 7230 cradle for ma 8700, does the job. I guess i'm just an old woman who don't like change.

Please don't spam us with utter nonsense.

The cradles are EXACTLY THE SAME. I have both in my possession. The only difference is the placement of the Amzer logo. They both have the same problem with holding the connection.

I wonder, do you work for Moftware?

Hi,

I posted this in the review thread and wanted to make sure that everyone else had a chance to see it over here as well:

Hi All,

Most posts in this thread have some validity to them. We DID test them before we made them available for sale and didn't experience these problems. They ARE manufactured by a company other than ourselves and retrospectively have not lived up to our - or your - expectations. Any who are dissatisfied with this cradle can send email to me and I will work out with you individually whatever it takes to show you that we most definitely stand behind our products. On a VERY positive front, we are working on a better solution and will have one available shortly. As a gesture of goodwill and an acknowledgement of the problems listed above, we have removed the cradle as being for sale from our website. We won't put it back up until it is the product you expect and should have received. Please email personally with any questions and/or concerns and I'll be happy to help you out.

Today we received the updated desktop cradles for 8700. They are good.
We will begin the shipment for backorder and the replacement for the previous defective ones.

We will also put it back to our store and accept the new order.

If you experienced the connection problem with the cradle in the previous batch, please contact Davidsilver for replacement

Sorry for the problem and thank you so much for your patience and support.
We solved the problem as quick as we could.

Do these new cradles work with the extended battery?

Evil One · 06-07-2006, 05:47 AM

My cradle works fine just the blue light is blinding nothing a piece of black tape didnt fix though.

lgreenberg · 06-07-2006, 07:07 AM

I should have the newly revised cradle in my hands to review today.
