Ok, got my Seido 8700 cradle in the mail yesterday.
Simple to hook up (of course). It didn't slide right in, but that was nothing. It only took 2 seconds to figure out the proper angle to hold it and I removed and replaced it about 15 times throughout the day. Works great I like it a great deal and would recommend it to any other 8700 owner I know. The angle is perfect as far as I am concerned as well.
Thanks for the great product Seidio, I think I will order the holster next and see if everyone here is right about that as well.

I used to use a PDA on my desktop to show my calendar all day long and after getting a 8700 I bought this cradle in the hope that this would allow me to do the same with my blackberry. However I am experiencing two problems, firstly the backlight goes off after 2 mins even when in the cradle on external power and secondly, even if I could solve that, it also locks itself after a set amount of time. How do I get it to show my calendar (lit) all day? Someone on this thread has mentioned an OTA and I have seen the link to this but have no idea how to install it, or whether I will be able to install it as I suspect the company I work for willhave put some kind of block on installing additional software. Any ideas please?
