Honestly, I would've like to see syncing capability added as well, but overall I'm satisfied with it. Some observations:

1. It has a USB A port next to the hardwired AC wire. If you had an A to A cable, you can charge via USB instead (but at a painfully slow rate).

2. The external battery charger is designed to charge RIM's C-series batteries, so I assume it will work with the new 8300/8800 series batteries as well. The 8700 series 2400mAh battery from Seidio fits & charges fine in it.

3. The front charging cradle piece is removable, so all they need to do is swap in a larger holder for the 8300/8800 models to be compatible with the power station.

4. The charging hole for the HS-655 will work with the Plantronics 640/645/655 series if you have the Mini-USB adaptor for it. I'm charging my 640 in it now.
